Sarma or Grape leaf Wraps

[quotidianlight]

I am looking for a few recipes for grape leaf wraps that don't have nuts. I was going to use the cauliflower for rice but I keep finding recipes with meat or nuts in them

Re: Sarma or Grape leaf Wraps

I just make a meatloaf filling and roll it into the grape leaves...see I've never like the dolmas that were purely rice and meat or rice and fruit filled.

Re: Sarma or Grape leaf Wraps

Are you looking for a meatless, nutless filling? If so, what step are you on the ladder (so we know what can/can't go in there)
and finally, wehre do you find grape leaves?????

Re: Sarma or Grape leaf Wraps

I found the wraps at Safeway over by the olives and what not. I like the ones you get in restaurants, it seems like some sort of rice filling but it's tangy. I can substitute the rice for cauliflower but I don't know what kinds of spices they use. I am also interested in other types of fillings for both now and the future. We don't have a lot of greek restaurants so I've never tasted any of the other variations. The only recipes I am finding online are the pine nut and currant recipes. Bt I know historically lamb was really common *sighs* I'm still on rung one but I am starting to collect recipes for the other rungs as well. I guess I'm just looking for ideas.

BTW: cute chickens!

MMMM Well, Greek seasoned probably means allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, lemon juice and such. I'll keep my eyes open for you
