Dolmades
Do you love Greek dolmades? Then just make them yourself at home. I didn't use rice in the filling but if you want to add that it's easy to do so!
Ingredients
- 250 gr minced meat
- 1 jar grape leaves
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 10 gr parsley fresh chopped
- 2 cloves garlic mashed
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp tomato puree
- ½ tsp paprika powder
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- Pepper and salt
Instructions
- Remove the vine leaves from the jar and drain briefly. You need 10 or so so pick the prettiest ones. Preferably not too small, that will make rolling easier.
- Heat a frying pan and gently fry the onions until tender. Add the garlic and fry the minced meat until loose. Season with the oregano, fresh parsley, paprika, chili flakes, tomato paste, pepper and salt.
- Lay a vine leaf flat and put a small scoop of minced meat in the center. Fold both sides in and then roll up as tightly as possible.
- Place the dolmades in a small pan tightly together.
- Add water to the pan until just submerged and cover the dolmades with a heavy saucer so they don't float and fall apart.
- Then cook for about 25 minutes or so until the vine leaves are tender.
- Serve with tzatziki if desired
