Categories     dinner, project, appetizer

Time 1h

Yield About four dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound lean ground pork
1 pound lean ground beef
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons parsley
1/3 cup chopped fresh coriander
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1/2 cup raw rice
Black pepper to taste
About 5 dozen large grape leaves, preserved in brine
4 cups beef broth or stock
3 cups plain yogurt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the pork, beef, onion, parsley, coriander, mint, rice and black pepper.
  • Separate the grape leaves and rinse in warm water. Cut off the stems.
  • Arrange 10 leaves in a heavy-bottomed pot to keep the dolmas from burning.
  • Place each of the remaining leaves, shiny side down, on the counter. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each leaf and roll up. Fold the stem end over the filling. Then fold in the sides and continue rolling up. Stack the rolls, seam side down, on the grape leaves in the pot. When all the filling has been used up, pour the beef broth over the dolmas. Place a plate on top of the dolmas and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes. Drain well.
  • Serve at room temperature or cold with yogurt on the side.

I'm not usually a fan of dolmas, but these were really good. The grape leaves were tender and the filling was flavorful.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The dolmas were not good at all.

I would not recommend this recipe. The dolmas were too salty and the grape leaves were too tough.

These dolmas were a disaster. The grape leaves were tough and the filling was bland. I won't be making them again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dolmas didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked them.

This was my first time making dolmas, and I was really happy with how they turned out. The instructions were easy to follow, and the dolmas were delicious.

I've made dolmas many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of the mint and dill really takes it to the next level.
