This next one is an adaptation of a Greek-Middle-Eastern
recipe for Dolma. I loved this dish as a youngster summering on Cape Cod. A
wonderful Lebanese family "turned me on" to this dish and I have finally
found a way to make it meatless and spectacular!
Veggie Dolmas
1 jar of Grapeleaves in brine
Filling:
2 cup basmati rice cooked
1/2 cup currants
1/2 cup of pine nuts ground
1/2 cup quorn grounds thawed
2 tbsp. dried mint (or 1/4 cup fresh mint chopped fine)
1 tbsp. dried parsely (or 1/4 cup fresh parsely chopped fine)
1 tsp dried oregano (or 1/8 cup fresh oregano chopped fine)
1 tsp. sea salt
2 tsp pepper
1 small can tomato paste
Juice of 2 lemons
Remove the grape leaves from the jar, rinse and unfold
carefully and rinse again. Lay paper towels and pat dry. Gently remove any
stems that are still on the leaves.
In a large bowl mix the filling ingredients together till
they are well incorporated.
Carefully separate a few of the leaves and line the
bottom of a 1-2 gallon stock pot.
To roll take a leaf, place 1 heaping tsp of filling in
the center of the leaf about 1/2 inch up from the bottom edge. Fold 1/2 inch
up over the filling, fold each side toward the middle, then beginning at the
bottom again roll the whole package up till you have a 1-2" "log.
Continue with the rolling process till you use up all the
filling.
Line the rolled leaves up in a circular pattern in the
stock pot till all are in. Pour the juice of both lemons gently over the
rolled leaves. Place a dinner plate on top with a stone in the middle to
keep in place. Gradually add cold water till it just covers the leaves.
Bring contents to a boil then reduce and simmer for
abount 1/2 hour till tender. Drain water by holding on to stone to keep
plate in place and gently pour out cooking water. Leave plate on till almost
cool.
Remove plate and serve with plain yogurt, yummy.
These can be frozen in 1-2 serving sizes for later. I
like to do it this way then microwave them for a minute and a half for a
quickie meal.
