Description

Dolmas are grape leaves that are traditionally stuffed with a mixture of rice and meat and then cooked. They are a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean specialty. The vegetarian ones are usually served cold. I prefer them served warm with a tasty sauce on top. If you are vegan you can try a tomato based sauce and if you are vegetarian some sour cream (plus garlic – optional) on top will make these dolmas just perfect.

Ingredients

  • 1-¾ pounds, ¼ ounces, weight Mushrooms (I Used Portobello)
  • 1 whole Onion, Peeled And Quartered
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Uncooked Brown Rice (soaked In Water For 1 Hour)
  • 1 cup Water
  • ½ teaspoons Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dry Thyme
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Coriander
  • ¼ teaspoons Ginger Powder
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Ground Pepper To Taste
  • ½ cups Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 50 leaves Grape Leaves
  • 3 leaves Bay
  • 3 Tablespoons Tomato Paste

Preparation

For the filling:

Grind the mushrooms and onion in your food grinder according to manufacturer’s instructions. Then set this aside. (You can use you food processor if you don’t have a food grinder).

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushroom and onion paste into the saucepan and sauté for 10 minutes.

Add the rice (first drain off the water that you’ve been soaking it in) along with an additional 1 cup of fresh water. Stir and let the mixture boil for 10 minutes or until almost all of the excess liquid is absorbed. It doesn’t need to be cooked, it just has to absorb all of the excess water. Add the dry spices and salt and pepper to taste.

Remove from heat and add chopped parsley. Let it cool for 10 minutes.

For the wrappers and assembly:

Preheat oven to 392F˚.

Separate the grape leaves. Make the rolls by adding about 1 tablespoon of filling into the middle of each leaf and rolling it up burrito style. Set the assembled rolls aside and repeat until you run out of filling.

Take a large oven safe pot or Dutch oven and line the bottom of the pot with some grape leaves.

Put the assembled rolls into the pan on top of the grape leaves. Arrange them around the pan until the pan is full. Add the bay leaves. Cover with the remaining grape leaves. Add water until all of the rolls are covered.

Place in oven at 392F˚ for 1 hour. Check every 20 minutes and add more water if necessary. At 15 minutes before it’s ready, stir in the tomato paste and finish cooking.

Serve!
