Your recipe was amazing, worked perfectly. My husband had never had them with the red pepper, he loved them. In fact, so much we stuffed koosa and put them on top of the rolled grape leaves. We used onion slices on the bottom. My husband I grew up with his mom and sisters making these. Now I can too, thank you!
This our arabian food but we make it with rice its much better and we eat it warm with a plate of molokia and chicken or meat home Made of course we call it in arabic محشي mahshy :)
I love how you make it look so easy cause this recipe intimidates me. Especially when the Lebanese parents are coming over for an authentic lebanese dinner. 🤞😥

Dolmades - dolma : actually dolma means stuffed in Turkish. Vietnamese usually fill with beef , shrimp etc serve on rice , We Turks fill them with rice and herbs .I tried vietnamese version of stuffed pumpkin flowers .We also fill them with rice . Greeks add suffix :) That is their contribution
Definitely heading iver to your site to find the recipe. I did not grow up eating these but fell in love with them when I 1st tried them at a Greek restaurant. Every recipe I have found had meat but I preferred the meatless kind. Can't wait to try this.

I am from India, in tarkish serials or movies every time theyshows mom makes this patta recipe, so i curious about this recipe, in india we make patta recipe, known as alluwadi madeby channa powder adds spice s,but i saw this recipe and so glad,thank u so much,Dandawat madam 😋
Thank you for this video!! May I ask for your opinion???? I've seen other dolma aficionados COOK the rice and chopped veggies BEFORE rolling it in the grape leaves, and then very lightly steaming the rolled up dolmas for 4 minutes. In your opinion, How do the flavors compare when it's done your way or their way? I loooove the freshly made dolmas sold at the Turkish markets , but they sell one large one (one large thumb size) for over a dollar each!! Soo pricey, so we want to make our own! Thank you in advance for your reply!❤
Yes, you can and is better actually . Wash them good and blanching for one minute and put them after to the cold water and is ready to use it. In my country we do almost the same recipe without tomatoes more fresh herbs during the summer with fresh grape leaves.
I was going to ask the same question but see you asked six months ago, still no answer. Makes no sense to cook rice first as it cooks for 1.25 hours after being rolled.
@@SixStringSteve Some people rinse it some don't. As for cooking the rice, you're right, there is no need. In fact it needs to be uncooked since the herbs will shrink while being cooked, so you need the rice to expand to fill the place. The rice will also absorb some of the taste as well.
I bought a dutch oven to make dolma. This is my second time to try and make them and it's taking much longer than 30 min on medium heat (350º) to even start absorbing the water. What am i doing wrong?
You can wash the grape leaves from the brine in advance. You can also make the stuffing, roll the grape leaves and freeze the uncooked grape leaves in a single layer. Then when they’re frozen, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and then cook as usual.
I have not tried it myself because I’ve heard of poor results. Brown rice needs extra cooking time as compared to white rice. That extra cooking time can result in overcooking the grape leaves.
You can use cabbage, onions, potato, zucchini, Eggplant, green pepper. Almost any vegetables. Its called stuffed veggie. Grapes leaves is part of them.

Thank you!
Could they be made in the crockpot or pressure cooker?
Nice recipe.
Thank you!
You are a nice person.
Lots of great recipes on your channel! I subscribed. Do you rinse the rice beforehand to remove starch?
this is going to help me, thanks a lot !
I'm so glad to hear that!

I just ordered a dutch oven and I'm about to make these for the first time. Should I still do the plate and bowl of water trick to weigh them down?
Bravo Youmna, habibté xxx
Thank you!
Some Lebanese variations add a little ground Sumac to it.
I always follow your cooking method for dolma it always come out perfect. But I always wonder if you cook it with closed lid or open?:)
Hello good evening please I Love your videos
👍❤💋
Thank you, loved your video💚
I have 2 questions please
Why are my grapeleaves too mushy and soft inside?
And why do they change to a very dark color
It seems like an interesting recipe. Can I use fresh home grown grape leaves as well?
Yes, you can and is better actually . Wash them good and blanching for one minute and put them after to the cold water and is ready to use it. In my country we do almost the same recipe without tomatoes more fresh herbs during the summer with fresh grape leaves.
Is it possible to freeze some or put them in a glass jar in the fridge with brine?
Did you rinse the rice? Does the rice need to be pre cooked? Thanks so much for your answer.
I was going to ask the same question but see you asked six months ago, still no answer. Makes no sense to cook rice first as it cooks for 1.25 hours after being rolled.

She says in the video the rice is not precooked, it cooks during long cook time in the pot.
if I were to use a pressure cooker, I still add the same amount of water and leave it for the same amount of time, right?
The rice doesn't need to be soaked before using in the stuffing?
What can I replace rice with? I'm trying to cut carbs and can't think of rice replacement.
Would it be too hot for the plate? I've never put a plate in a cooking pot before.
I bought a dutch oven to make dolma. This is my second time to try and make them and it's taking much longer than 30 min on medium heat (350º) to even start absorbing the water. What am i doing wrong?
Hi, can I use basmati instead of the short grain rice? I don’t have short grain rice in hand…?
It should work, but the cooking time may change slightly.
Can I use fresh young grape leaves?
Can you replace the rice for bulgar? If it’s replaced what method will change from rice to bulgar wheat?
I haven't tried that yet, but, if you do, I think you'd have to reduce the cooking time because bulgur cooks quicker than rice does.
Can we use fresh grape leaves instead of the brined one?
Yes. The brining is just for preservation.
rice used is Raw rice?
What about pine-nuts and raisins
I'm trying to learn Lebanese food bc I only learn how to make jamaican food
So no washing rice before ?
Can I make 3 days before I serve them?
You can wash the grape leaves from the brine in advance. You can also make the stuffing, roll the grape leaves and freeze the uncooked grape leaves in a single layer. Then when they’re frozen, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and then cook as usual.
Do you cook the rice or sprout them?
There’s no need to cook the rice in advance!
@@Feelgoodfoodie Oh ok, thanks.
Can you make it with brown rice?
I have not tried it myself because I’ve heard of poor results. Brown rice needs extra cooking time as compared to white rice. That extra cooking time can result in overcooking the grape leaves.
@@Feelgoodfoodie so if I cook the rice separately, then mix it with seasoning and wrap it with the leaves after, that would be good right?
Can it freezes after cooking?
I would not freeze after cooking. But you can freeze before cooking!
How to fold it with machine
Could not find the recipe to make!? Where can I find the recipe?
The full recipe can be found here: feelgoodfoodie.net/recipe/stuffed-grape-leaves/
What can I use as a substitute for grape leaves, couldn't find it where I am
Hmmm, it's kind of hard to substitute, but you could try using a big cabbage.
I had to get mine on amazon.
You can use cabbage, onions, potato, zucchini, Eggplant, green pepper. Almost any vegetables. Its called stuffed veggie. Grapes leaves is part of them.
U just needed tomato paste and more kinds of spices and pomegranate molasses 😜
So many ways to personalize this recipe!
That’s what I thought lols it’s missing pomegranate and tomato paste . Pomegranates heighten the flavour so much more
Can I add garlic cloves kike the beef grape leaves?
What happened with the lemon juice ?
She added it later in the cooking process so it didn't turn bitter.
Forget about vegetarian, grape leaves are supposed to be made with ground beef!
Do you add green peppers and mashed garlic to this? The recipe is unclear 🙄
Yes, you do!
This our arabian food but we make it with rice its much better and we eat it warm with a plate of molokia and chicken or meat home Made of course we call it in arabic محشي mahshy :)
Also you can add chick peas. Serve with yogurt. Totally healthy.
12 years old is old.... I thought she was gonna say i learned how to roll the grape leaves when i was 4 years old
I am married.... otherwise i would have been propose you ( you like or don't like)..... enjoyed your show.
This is called sarma, a turkish dish...
