Rice stuffed grape leaves, also known as dolmas, are a traditional dish originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. These small, flavorful rolls consist of grape leaves wrapped around a savory mixture of rice, herbs like dill and mint, onions, and sometimes pine nuts or currants. While variations exist using ground meat, the vegetarian version is a popular choice. The grape leaves themselves are rich in vitamins A, K, and antioxidants, supporting healthy skin and immune function. The dish is typically cooked with olive oil, a heart-healthy fat that contributes beneficial monounsaturated fatty acids. However, dolmas can be calorie-dense due to the rice and oil, so portion control is key. Often served as an appetizer or part of a mezze platter, rice stuffed grape leaves provide a balanced combination of fiber, plant-based nutrients, and classic Mediterranean flavors.
