Favorite recipe for making homemade dolmas/ stuffed grape leaves (without meat)?

Here is a typical one with a combo of rice, tomatoes, currants, pine nuts and diced onions, plus lots of spices. I would simplify the spices (not being a fan of allspice) but that is, of course, a matter of taste.

I can’t say I’ve tried this with dolmas, but I do know that in some recipes you can replace meat with some nice, meaty chopped mushrooms such as portabellos (or criminis) and lose nothing in the way of texture, flavor, or substantiality.

This One is similar to gail’s and is fairly traditional.

Here’s one that is stuffed with Quinoa instead of rice.

This one uses Bulgur Wheat

This recipe uses Brown Basmati Rice and Lentils with Pomegranate Seeds

And here is one that is quite a bit more exotic, kind of like Vietnamese fresh spring rolls, only with grape leaves. It has Yukon Gold Potato, Tofu, Shiitake Mushrooms, Bean Thread Noodles, Carmalized Onions and Herbs

Have fun!

Any of the above, but you do need in include bulgar wheat, rice, pignolias, lemon, onion, and garlic. I have made them many times. I have decided I like it better using cabbage. I boil the big outside leaves just long enough that I can manipulate them. It’s cheaper and I always have it in the frig.

Yum! Stuffed cabbage!
