I've had them out of a can (yuk!) now want to make them from scratch - someday, LOL. Times are just a guess on this one.

Time 1h40m

Yield 30 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup olive oil
3 large onions, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup rice
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 cup chopped parsley
6 scallions, minced (including green tops)
2 lemons
2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 lbs grape leaves

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in large frying pan (reserving 2 tablespoons of the oil for later use). Sauté onions with salt until transparent. Add pepper and rice, cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add dill, parsley, scallions, juice of 1 lemon and 1/2 cup of the water. Cook 10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Correct seasoning.
  • Rinse grape leaves very well; drain, separate very carefully. Place shiny side down. Put about 1 tablespoon filling on each leaf near base. Starting at base, fold over, fold in sides, then roll tightly toward tip into cigar shape.
  • Line bottom of kettle with several of the imperfect leaves (to prevent sticking). Arrange rolls in kettle, side by side, in layers. Add reserved 2 tablespoons olive oil and juice of remaining lemon and 1 cup water. Weight down with heat proof plate. Simmer gently 25 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup water, simmer 25 minutes more. Cover rolls in kettle, then refrigerate. To serve, pile stuffed grape leaves on serving plate; garnish with lemon slices. Serve at room temperature.

The dolmadakia were good, but I found the filling to be a bit dry. I think it would have been better if I had added some more liquid to the mixture.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were a lot of steps involved and it took me a long time to make. The dolmadakia were good, but I don't think they were worth the effort.

These dolmadakia were a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. The filling was well-seasoned and the grape leaves were tender, so I would still recommend trying this recipe if you're a fan of tangy stuffe
