Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup olive oil, divided
1 ½ pounds onions, chopped
1 ¾ cups uncooked white rice
2 lemons, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 (8 ounce) jar grape leaves, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute onions until tender. Stir in rice and brown slightly. Add 3 1/2 cups water, and half of the lemon juice.

I made these dolmas in my Instant Pot, and they came out perfectly! The pressure cooker method significantly reduced the cooking time, and the dolmas were still tender and flavorful. It's a great way to enjoy this classic dish without spending hours

These dolmas were a bit too oily for my liking. I think I might have used too much olive oil in the filling. Next time, I'll try using less oil and see how it turns out.

I've tried several dolma recipes over the years, but this one is definitely a keeper! The addition of pine nuts and currants gave the filling an extra layer of texture and flavor. I'll be making these dolmas for all my future gatherings.

I love how versatile this recipe is! I experimented with different fillings, such as a mixture of ground beef and lamb, and a combination of vegetables and feta cheese. Both versions were equally delicious. Dolmas are a great way to use up leftover i

These dolmas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I should have added more salt and pepper to the filling. I also would have liked to see more herbs in there. Overall, they were okay, but I've had better.

I'm not a huge fan of grape leaves, so I decided to use collard greens instead. The dolmas were still delicious, but the texture was a bit tougher. I think I'll stick to traditional grape leaves next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made a few modifications to the recipe. I replaced the meat with a combination of lentils and mushrooms, and it turned out wonderfully! The dolmas were packed with umami and had a delightful texture.

My dolmas came out a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked them. However, the flavors were still delicious, and I enjoyed the combination of rice, herbs, and meat. With some adjustments, I'm sure I can perfect this recipe.

These dolmas were good, but I felt something was missing. Maybe it was the lack of seasoning in the filling. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to enhance the overall flavor profile.
