Grape Leaves
Stuffed grape leaves are a cultural tradition all over the Mediterranean.
Many people are familiar with them by their greek name dolmades. In our family they are simply called feuilles de vigne (grape leaves), and we make them with ground beef as well as rice.
I think they’re a real treat, but I know from family lore that making them well is something that can only be taught by example. Accordingly, we asked my dad’s cousins to our place for a rolling session. It was a lot of fun, produced lots of tasty food, and now I think we can do it ourselves.
