🇬🇷 Greece recipe

Dolmades

Dolmades are delicate parcels of tender grape vine leaves wrapped around a fragrant filling of herbed rice, pine nuts, and currants. Simmered gently in a lemony broth, they are served at room temperature as a beloved meze dish. Each bite reveals the earthy tang of the vine leaf married with aromatic Mediterranean flavors.
