Delicious Dolmas
Ah, the Mediterranean. A place where you picture ancient Romans and Greeks marching along in togas eating mouth-watering food. Perhaps one of the most mouth-watering dishes (well, besides pizza...but I can't really picture the ancients Greeks laying around eating pizza. I don't know. Maybe they were eating Little Ceasers) is dolmas. Dolmas is a rice and meat mixture wrapped in a grape leaf. It contains tons of aromatic sweet spices like cinnamon and clove but yet has a lovely salty flavor.
I've recently been taking an online cooking class when I found this recipe so I won't be attaching it due to copyright complaints. If you're now drooling, let me take a step back while you recompose yourself, and tell you about the process of making these delectable green nuggets. First of all, you boil some rice and in a separate pan brown some meat. Traditionally you should use lamb but, I wasn't sure if anyone else would eat it, so I used ground beef.
In the meat, you add everything but the kitchen sink, as far as spices. Then mix the rice and meat together. Layout the grape leaves on a surface, put about a TBSP of your rice mixture in the middle of the leaf, roll them up, place 'em in a pan, then drowned your rolled grape leaves in seasoned chicken broth, and let them bake.
There you have it! The worlds quickest overview of the hardest dish I've ever made. Regardless of the "Great Mt. of Dishes" we had after, I think this dish is well worth taking the time to make and experience. So go change out of your togas and put your chef's hat on because its time to start cooking!
