    I’m also Egyptian born in Cairo. Wera Enab was a staple growing up & still is. My husband & kids love it! I appreciate watching different ways of cooking. My mom would mix everything raw & steam with the chicken broth, lots of lemon & sometimes adding chicken bones at the bottom for added flavors. I’ve never seen the leaves boiled first but I will try it because I think itll add softness.
    I just came across your channel & liked what I saw. I subscribed & will continue watching :) in support of my fellow Egyptian sister. Shukran

    Hi Suzie, I’m an Egyptian living in Canada since my mid teens! I too love stuffed vine leaves!😊
    However my recipe ( passed down from my mother also ) is a bit different! I added chopped tomatoes, more meat, less rice, nutmeg and a couple other differences! That said, I’m sure the end result is yummy! My mom used to roll them so thin and uniform, and in no time! Not me,😂
    I too love recruiting the family to help roll, it’s so much fun!! It’s a must have at Easter. 🐣
    Thanks for sharing!

      Absolutely! There are many variations! Being Lebanese/Syrian
      Myself, with a Greek husband, I make them a few different ways. You can cook them with rice, parsley, garlic, onion in a delicious lemony water broth . My mom used to also sometimes add chickpeas! I also add dill when making them the Greek way. Dipped in a garlicky yogurt sauce!

    Can I use fresh grape leaves? How does that change the recipe? Should I rinse with warm water or boiling water if they’re right off the tree? Also what kind of rice brand? Is basmati ok?

    • @TheMediterraneanDish
      @TheMediterraneanDish  2 месяца назад

      You can totally use fresh grape leaves. First, be sure to wash them well, then blanch them in boiling hot water. Remove from water using a slotted spoon and place them in a colander to fully cool and drain. From there, you can use them as indicated.
      For the rice, basmati might be okay, but we really recommend a short grain rice like arborio.

      @BonnieClyde216 3 месяца назад +1

      Hi; yes the fresh ones are way better than the jar ones. You do exactly what she’s doing boil them for a couple of minutes that’s all they need especially if they feel thin. The ones in a jar are very thick and coarse and need longer boiling.

    • @fluffyface6685
      @fluffyface6685 3 месяца назад

      It is best to use medium size leaves. The largest ones are too tough and the smaller ones are hard to roll. I was also told to pick the leaves with the stems at where the stem joins the stalk, otherwise the vine will be weakened and fewer new leaves will grow back. I do not know how true that is, but that is what my mother and grandmother told me!
