Stuffed grape leaves with rice, also known as dolmas, are a beloved dish originating in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Balkan cuisines. This flavorful appetizer consists of tender grape leaves wrapped around a filling of steamed rice, onions, fresh herbs like dill and parsley, and occasionally pine nuts or currants. Some versions include minced meat for added protein. Typically seasoned with olive oil and lemon juice, dolmas offer a balance of tanginess and earthy richness. From a nutritional standpoint, this dish is plant-based when meat-free, providing fiber from rice and antioxidants from herbs. The olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, while the grape leaves themselves are low in calories and rich in vitamins A and K. However, depending on preparation, dolmas may contain added sodium or fats, so moderation is key. Paired with a vegetable-rich salad or yogurt dip, stuffed grape leaves can be part of a wholesome meal.
