Today I got around to making some dolmades, about 50 total. It should have been more. But the grape leaves I got were small and torn. This is using
BandCollector
recipe that he was generous enough to share. I went by it to the letter.
Got the goods lined up and ready.
Stuffing is almost done. The smell is very nice!
In a ice bath cooling while I get the grape leaves ready.
Wrapped. And in the pot. The leaves and my wrapping abilities were not quite up to the task.
Done! A couple split. Probably because I wrapped them too tight. I let them cool completely. Then ate about a dozen of them. These are 10x better then the store bought version.
Thanks again John! I will be making these again. By the way. How do you store them? The ones I get at the olive bar are soaking in olive oil. Is that what you do?
