About Dolmas

Dolmas, a staple of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, are grape leaves stuffed with a flavorful mixture of rice, herbs, and often minced meat. Common seasonings include dill, parsley, mint, and lemon, which lend a fresh, tangy taste. This dish is believed to have Ottoman origins but is enjoyed in various countries with local variations. Dolmas are typically steamed or simmered, making them both tender and aromatic. Nutritionally, they are rich in fiber from the rice and grape leaves, and they provide vitamins like A and K. When made with olive oil instead of meat, they become a plant-based option lower in saturated fat. However, some versions can be calorie-dense due to oil or meat content. Overall, dolmas balance wholesome ingredients and bold flavors, offering a nutritious and satisfying option when consumed in moderation.
