in Egypt we don't add beef we make it with rice mixed with tomato sause (salsa) with onion and chopped fresh coriander and lemon and it turns out like heaven on earth
thats interesting. im egyptian and we add beef, no tomato sauce, and rice. ww also boil the leaves so it softens a bit before we roll them. we use the rice ans herb mix for the stuffed cabbage. I think sifferent parts of Egypt make it differently! I definitely want to try it your way!
@@grunt-0311 I've had all different variations of them and to me, these ones are by far my favorite. The cold ones are okay, and without a red sauce is okay but nice and piping hot with a red sauce over-the-top is mind blowing
One extra tip I learned from a Lebanese grandma (especially if you have an electric stove): place a layer of raw potato slices on the bottom. They protect your bottom layer of dolmas from burning.

В Армении у нас это блюдо называется долма. Мы готовим его почти так же, но с сырым фаршем, а не жаренным. При готовке добавляем чуть меньше воды и немного томатной пасты. Подаем вместе с кисломолочным соусом с чесноком ❤

Если бы ты, невежа, учил историю, то ты бы не писал тупостей в сторону армян и армянской кухни! Не отуреченным персам судить об армянском языке и культуре.

In turkey we add some tomato paste in the stuffing also we put lemon on top of the “sarma” when they are cooking, it gives a slight sour taste. I love this and yours look great. ❤🇹🇷
As a Lebanese like you- we make them with raw meat. With the rice, etc. I’ve never seen them made with cooked meat before. Interesting. we also cook them in lemon juice, water, and lots of garlic cloves! Yummy!
@ogaihaidari5824 The meat and rice cook slowly inside the grape leaf, in the garlicky lemon broth. With a comment like this, you’re either not a cook, or you’re 9 years old! Lol 😂
There's a middle eastern restaurant not too far from my house that my family goes to for special occasions. Their stuffed grape leaves are also filled with grated onions with sumac so they taste super lemony and fresh
My father was Armenian, he taught me differently. But yours looks very good. I like the way you made them all the same size. One of the fondest memories I have is when we would sit at the table rolling the grape leaves together. I can still see his face, and big hands rolling the grape leaves. Enjoy!
I had a Lebanese best friend in elementary to middle school. She’d bring Dolmas/stuffed grape leaves to school often and I always loved when did cus she’d share them with me.. Miss her a lot ❤

@@chewie2055so are you insinuating they are not from Poland because they didn’t use the authentic name? So shameful! So rude! Jesteś dość niegrzeczna osoba! Btw it’s called Golabki.
In turkey, we make two types: one serves cold that is made with olive oil rice, raisin pine nuts and spices, cut lemon slices, and put on top while cooking. Other with beef but we dont cook the beef, mix with rice,tomatoes, parsley, onions, garlic layer the pot first with boned meat, layer dolmas on top and make a red sauce with tomato paste . If beef cooks in the green leaves, it tastes entirely different than sautéing it in a pot! I make almost every week thats how much i love them
I’ve had stuffed grape leaves at church potlucks. They were Greek style, but were darned delicious. Thanks for showing us your Lebanese family style! ☮️❤️🐾
Funny thing, I read that the ancient Greeks had a version of this meal but it was made with fig leaves. I can't figure out why the modern day doesn't use fig leaves anymore, but only uses grape leaves and cabbage.
@@NovikNikolovic Perhaps the demand is small and/or the difficulty is greater? Agribusiness and industry have changed many factors involved with the marketing of food products.
@@AGTsakumis Recipes for stuffed eggplant have been found in Medieval Arabic cookbooks and, in Ancient Greek cuisine, fig leaves stuffed with sweetened cheese were called thrion.[4] The word dolma, of Turkish origin, means "something stuffed" or "filled".[5][6] The original dolma is not Greek, but the Turkish/Arabic version came from a much older Greek recipe, and it got reinvented.
Dolmas is what I was introduced to them as. So delicious ! I love them hot but also out of the fridge in the middle of the night or next morning lol ❤ this recipe looks incredible 😍
I love these when my mom make them! She doesn't use beef, just rice, tomatoes and a lot of lemon or lime juice. They come out really acidic and taste snappy, so good especially when you have a cup of freezing cold water with them
I grew up blessed, because we had grape leave vines growing everywhere along my porch. Like everywhere, old ones too. My dad is a great cook, so every spring, he would make a massive batch and my siblings and I would help him stuff them. It’s one of my fondest memories. Moving away from that house was truly devastating. However, my parents do still own it, sooooooo… technically we could pick them. It’s just more complicated. But trust me, they taste a million times better when the leaves are fresh picked.
I just had these for lunch ... So. what kind of leaves are these again??? I never thought I could make these delicious little pieces of heaven!!! 💚Absolutely Beautiful Thanks ~Vie 💚💚💚
In switzerland we use to make this with some kind of a dough and some meat it dont mather which kind of meat and its so delicious we call it capuns i love it 🇨🇭👌
When I was little my moms Egyptian friend used to make a version of these with no meat, they were amazing. Such a great memory, thank you for reminding me ❤

Then one day they came knocking at my door with a container of food and THIS THIS WAS ONE OF THE FOODS!

But now I'm going to take this recipe and make it! Because now I have a name for it!
Love the Mediterranean vibes! My wife’s Greek yia yia (grandmother) would make these from scratch like this, and they were SO good!! Melt in your mouth!!
@@blondie4201Perhaps do some research into Food History before making ignorant comments like this. Not to mention the fact it doesn’t actually matter lol. Our regions have all been so interconnected for so long that we all have our own variations of very similar dishes. Enjoying them with different sauces, spices, proteins, etc is never ‘ruining’ the food, but instead embracing the nature of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food with the coming together of people.
My grandad grows grape leaves in his backyard! He taught me how to pick the ripe ones and cook them. He cooks the beef in the boiling water instead of frying it before hand, and he adds a ton of lemon juice to the pot while they’re cooking. It’s super delicious!!!
Rathee called sarma in turkish, some pople call it dolma as well but it's technically wrong as we roll it roll=sarmak in türkish and dolma is used for stuffed things like bell peppers or eggplants n'stuff
It comes from the Turkish dolma which means stuffed in Turkish. Because Iran, Lebenon and basically all Middle East was under Turkish rule at some point in Ottoman Empire, some of the Turkish food are claimed by Middle easterns, east europeans etc. Such a great nation Turks built
Use fresh leaves, stuff only with uncooked rice, tomatoes and spices, cover the bottom of the pot with sliced tomato and lamb chops, and add a little lemon juice - Mom’s recipe.
Girl! You made sarma lmao. In turkish were calling this sarma (wrapping) and mostly adding tomato paste too. Usually just rice, not miched meat included. But thats just how west doing it. I do also eat someting like yours, and it was incredible too. Thanks for sharing!
Will always be grateful to God for Greek friend Lydia in high school whose mom made these excellent stuffed grape leaves, also! The dolmas were excellent!
A culinária libanesa / Síria é a minha favorita ! E me arrisco a preparar alguns pratos e comercializar, como boa mineira que sou, os preparo com couve manteiga! Hummm deu até vontade, vou fazer.❤😋
I enjoy making grape leaves. I like to wear vinyl gloves so my fingers don't take on the color from the leaves. I also like to use cooking string to bind several together and cook them that way in the pot.
That’s it, I need to go to the Mediterranean countries that make stuffed grape leaves and sample them all! Lebanese, Syrian, Egyptian, Greek, everywhere stuffed grape leaves are part of the cuisine. It sounds like a delicious trip.
@@Kiwi29676, clearly it’s more than Turkish. That’s like saying meatballs are only Italian. No, they’re not. Many cultures make make balls from ground meat with additional ingredients and spices. Different cultures, different ingredients. Same with the stuffed grape leaves.
This is my family’s favourite dish to make! (and eat) especially during holidays like Easter! But usually we add meat and lime to the pot. We always fight over the one that’s slightly ripped open after cooked because it’s the tastiest :)
My godparents were Armenian. Their daughter is my life long best friend. I LOVE Armenian food. I used to love when her grandmother would come visit. She always brought basturma. My godfather would make the best nazook. ❤
My favorite dish. Nothing compares to it. In Turkey we put the meat raw though. And the one without meat and olive oil is called the mock dolma in Turkish since the actual one is made with meat.
We call it sarma when we wrap (grape leaves, cabbage) and dolma when we fill (bell pepper, eggplant). Meatless is just another version which is done in aegian region. It is for sure not called mock.
Reminds me of Polynesians Palusami. Use taro leaves with lamb flap and coconut milk inside them wrapped up and cooked in Umu alongside the rest of the food. This looks very nice I hope to try some day
in Egypt we don't add beef we make it with rice mixed with tomato sause (salsa) with onion and chopped fresh coriander and lemon and it turns out like heaven on earth

IT IS TURKISH, NOT GREEK. STOP STEALING EVERY. SINGLE. THING.
@@blondie4201It’s not even solely Turkish.
@@blondie4201Perhaps do some research into Food History before making ignorant comments like this. Not to mention the fact it doesn’t actually matter lol. Our regions have all been so interconnected for so long that we all have our own variations of very similar dishes. Enjoying them with different sauces, spices, proteins, etc is never ‘ruining’ the food, but instead embracing the nature of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food with the coming together of people.
@@blondie4201cry baby
She’s lovely 😍🌸
My grandad grows grape leaves in his backyard! He taught me how to pick the ripe ones and cook them. He cooks the beef in the boiling water instead of frying it before hand, and he adds a ton of lemon juice to the pot while they’re cooking. It’s super delicious!!!
😋dolmades are my fave Greek dish. Normally they’re cold, but I like em hot too
Dolma is Turkish alloo no greek nooooo
Yaprak sarması bir Türk yemeğidir, artık bizi çalmayın
we have the similar food in Iran, it is called Dolmeh❤
Rathee called sarma in turkish, some pople call it dolma as well but it's technically wrong as we roll it roll=sarmak in türkish and dolma is used for stuffed things like bell peppers or eggplants n'stuff
It comes from the Turkish dolma which means stuffed in Turkish. Because Iran, Lebenon and basically all Middle East was under Turkish rule at some point in Ottoman Empire, some of the Turkish food are claimed by Middle easterns, east europeans etc. Such a great nation Turks built
We have similar food in Ukraine, it is called holubtsi, usually with cabbage leaves, but some people make it with grape leaves
Yuck
@@terken8454 Iran was never a part of the Ottoman empire (not here to argue, I love Turkie)
I had these at an Arabic friends house when I was a kid, I remember the flavor like it was yesterday...delicious
Had them with beef , lamb and/ or pork. LOVE me some stuffed grape leaves !!
This looks and sounds interesting I’ve never had grape leaves before! Willing to try! Thanks 😊
I hope you do!
@@Feelgoodfoodiedoes it taste like greens?
In Europe we call them Vine Leaves.
@@coldfact.same question🤔
Use fresh leaves, stuff only with uncooked rice, tomatoes and spices, cover the bottom of the pot with sliced tomato and lamb chops, and add a little lemon juice - Mom’s recipe.
Love that!
This is gonna bring back memories of when my dad caught me smoking a cigar and made me eat it sooooo I’m good
Girl! You made sarma lmao. In turkish were calling this sarma (wrapping) and mostly adding tomato paste too. Usually just rice, not miched meat included. But thats just how west doing it. I do also eat someting like yours, and it was incredible too. Thanks for sharing!
I make them with raw ground lamb and jasmin rice and I like to add olives to mine and cook them with tomato sauce... soo good!!!
I, too, love mine with tomatoes and capers.
Will always be grateful to God for Greek friend Lydia in high school whose mom made these excellent stuffed grape leaves, also! The dolmas were excellent!
I LOVE these things.
Reminds me to make some. Yeah, german potato here, but honestly Lebanese kitchen is amazing.
This reminds me of the land before time movie when they sing the songs “friends for dinner”!
I have a vine in my patio, my grandma used to do this dish with fresh leaves. I miss that
Love the variety of dishes you share, thanks!
Thank you!
These really are the best. We are Syrian; my family basically does the exact same method and seasoning, except we do 50% beef and 50% lamb.
A culinária libanesa / Síria é a minha favorita ! E me arrisco a preparar alguns pratos e comercializar, como boa mineira que sou, os preparo com couve manteiga! Hummm deu até vontade, vou fazer.❤😋
I never know that grape leaves are also eat 😮😲😯 looks healthy n delicious...
The meals on earth are endless ❤
bro I could eat 50+ of these if I wanted to, they are incredible, I always buy pre-made but I wanna learn!!!
I enjoy making grape leaves. I like to wear vinyl gloves so my fingers don't take on the color from the leaves. I also like to use cooking string to bind several together and cook them that way in the pot.
In my family we make these with a tamarind and apricot sauce!! Its soooooo good and almost like a sweet n sour taste
I LOVE stuffed grape leaves! The fresher the better!
Can I use fresh grape leaves from my garden?
Man, this looks so good! I've never had grape leaves before, and have no idea what to expect!
That’s it, I need to go to the Mediterranean countries that make stuffed grape leaves and sample them all! Lebanese, Syrian, Egyptian, Greek, everywhere stuffed grape leaves are part of the cuisine. It sounds like a delicious trip.
@@Kiwi29676, clearly it’s more than Turkish. That’s like saying meatballs are only Italian. No, they’re not. Many cultures make make balls from ground meat with additional ingredients and spices. Different cultures, different ingredients. Same with the stuffed grape leaves.
I’m Lebanese, and that’s how NOT to do stuffed grape leaves!!!
Theres different ways to do things 😊
Chill tf out
Oh my childhood! We had the Greek version of this all growing up. Absolutely an amazing meal
This is a Turkish food and we say Sarma. It' so delicious please try them and nice video 🇹🇷💜💗
I love this dish. It’s a must have whenever I order middle eastern food. My Chaldean friends call it Dolma (I think that’s how it’s spelled)
ur friends r from Iraq or Turkey cuz only Iraq and Turkey call it Dolma
I eat dolma quite often from an Iraqi and Syrian place near me
This is my family’s favourite dish to make! (and eat) especially during holidays like Easter! But usually we add meat and lime to the pot. We always fight over the one that’s slightly ripped open after cooked because it’s the tastiest :)
Mmm, these are so good. I haven't had them in forever
Never had grape leaves before. This looks awesome.
so nice so see armenian food on the internet! we never get that much notice 😅
My godparents were Armenian. Their daughter is my life long best friend. I LOVE Armenian food. I used to love when her grandmother would come visit. She always brought basturma. My godfather would make the best nazook. ❤
My favorite dish. Nothing compares to it. In Turkey we put the meat raw though. And the one without meat and olive oil is called the mock dolma in Turkish since the actual one is made with meat.
It is my favorite too!
We call it sarma when we wrap (grape leaves, cabbage) and dolma when we fill (bell pepper, eggplant). Meatless is just another version which is done in aegian region. It is for sure not called mock.
@@Vvemelaynen
@@VvemelCrimean tatars also call it sarma and dolma
How interesting
Where are you from?
@@dilsalimova4968 I am from Turkey. Sarma means “to wrap” and dolma means “to fill” in Turkish.
OMG U GO TO GIZA TOO?!?!? I LOVE that store so MUCHH
AS A BLACK AMERICAN I LOVE GRAPE LEAVES THEY'RE DELICIOUS ❤❤
Aradığın Türkçe yorum benim dkkdkdkdkd
Definitely a favourite 😊
Yes!
Reminds me of Polynesians Palusami. Use taro leaves with lamb flap and coconut milk inside them wrapped up and cooked in Umu alongside the rest of the food. This looks very nice I hope to try some day
Here in Brazil we call this Charuto, which literally means Cigar because of the format. Its one of my favorite foods ever!
My favorite meal as well!
Yes, so good!
I like Lebanese food and people ❤
The only time I've had stuffed grape leaves is from Costco and they were delicious. I couldn't imagine home made 😮💨😮💨🤤🤤
Mmmm dolmades are absolutely amazing there’s a Greek place here in my town that make’s authentic Greek food and that’s one of my go to appetizers
