Greek Dolmathes (Dolma) (Stuffed Grapevine Leaves) Recipe

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Dolmathes, also known as stuffed grapevine leaves, are a Greek specialty. There are many different variations of this dish, depending on the region of Greece. Some prepare it with an avgolemono (egg and lemon) sauce, others prefer a tomato sauce. Some Greeks cook the dolmathes in a pan in the oven, while others prefer to cook the dolmathes on the stovetop. In this recipe Eva shows us her unique way of preparing this classic Greek dish.

    I’m of Turkish Cypriot heritage, Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots exchanging recipes for hundreds or years - this version is very different to what I have seen my mother, relatives and my Greek Cypriot friends and their families make. The addition of egg in the mix, and the lemony reduction sauce she drizzles over it at the end has really freaked me out (for want of a better term, haha) BUT I am honestly going to try this - as the comments from Greeks in the comments here are all very positive and I would like to taste a version from Greece, as oppose to Cyprus. Her use of herbs impressed me. I just like my ‘dolma’ to taste fresh and clean, and adding egg and slathering it all in a floury slurry at the end doesn’t seem that appealing to me. But I will try 💪🏻

    I am relieved to see someone who really knows how to prepare these because I see tons of spices and herbs which are added and hide the flavor of the leaves. Egg and lemon sauce is how I make them but I also use chicken broth to cook first not water.

    I forgot to mention, my yiayia dried the leaves stringing them up in her storage room. Then she rehydrated them. She used to pick them in New Jersey when New Jersey was still garden state with areas you could find wild ones. She used to get poison ivy poor thing. She lived to be onehundred. I have grapeleaves, I pick them and freeze them. Then I blanche them and stuff. I use chopped meat. I use the plate too to hold down the stuffed ones and keep them from opening. I never heard of anyone using cilantro which frankly I hate to begin with, in stuffed leaves. I saw a video with the cook using cilantro and tons of spices.

    Jesus christ why is every turkish person so butthurt about greeks cooking similar food! these are greek dolmades. And yes there's also turkish dolmades too, and french dolmades. Literally who cares who made them up first. It's a bloody staple dish in greece, hence why she called them 'greek' dolmades, because that's how they make them in greece!! Each country has food that's also found in an abundance of other countries (i.e. greek loukomades which are basically balls of fried dough soaked in honey, which are found in india and probably turkey too). We're not going to stop making specific dishes because *shocker* other countries have similar recipes. Dolmades are delicious no matter the country they're from or made in, get over yourselves.

    Efharesto for the dolmathes video:). I use a 1 lb jar of Orlando grape leave in brine. Also I don't use a plate on top of the dolmathes, I use a smaller pot cover with a handle which I can remove easily and that works well whenever I make my Greek dolmathes with Greek extra thick and creamy Avgolemono sauce made with chicken stock which my Greek family loves. The leftover dolmathes keep nicely in the fridge, but the Greek Avgolemono egg lemon sauce is best if made fresh and I always use fresh lemons which I have juiced, and never use lemon juice concentrate. You can check Google for Greek Avgolemono egg lemon sauce recipes. If you have leftover egg lemon sauce you can refrigerate it, and then on low heat add it to a sauce pan and immediately add some hot chicken stock and whisk well until incorporated to reheat it slowly, but do not let it come to a boil. or it may curdle . I top the dolmathes with the Greek egg lemon sauce and on the sauce I sprinkle dill, parsley, and mint, either freshly chopped without the stems, or dried in the jars.

    Seriously?! Greeks and Turks were under the Ottoman rule for almost 400 years, you guys shared everything and your arguing about who came up with what recipe?! Unbelievable! Who cares who came up with Stuffed Grape Leaves, Yogurt, Baklava, Gyro etc... no one knows for sure who came up with what recipe even in THAT century so you guys arguing about it will get you no where. Everyone changes recipes as they cook according to their own tastebuds. I think she cooked her Dolmathes amazingly and I would definitely want to try it according to her recipe. Just because we don’t see each other on these comments doesn’t mean we should disrespect each other.
