Chef tips
To keep the stuffed leaves from unraveling while cooking, place a heavy inverted plate on top of them in the pot. This keeps them snug and ensures every grape leaf maintains its original shape. For a festive presentation, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dolmas right before serving and top with toasted pine nuts. For a vegetarian option, swap the meat for an equal amount of rice mixed with black lentils.
