- How about this Dolma recipe from _Try 'em... You'll Like 'em... Even More_,
- which is a cookbook published by Congregation Beth David Sisterhood. Anyhow,
- Mrs. Leitner has a recipe with no meat in it. This is being printed without
- permission, but I at know her and I'm sure she'd be honored to have her
- recipe posted here:
-
- 0.5 c. veggie oil
- 4 medium onions (chopped)
- 1 c. uncooked rice
- 1 c. parsley (minced)
- 0.5 c. raisins
- 0.5 c. tomato sauce
- 1 c. water
- 0.75 tsp. allspice
- 0.5 tsp. pepper
- Grape leaves
- 2 tsp. salt (or less/ to taste)
-
- Saute onions in the oil until browned. Add rice and cook on a low
- heat for 20 minutes (covered), stirring occasionally. Add all other
- ingredients (except grape leaves, of course) and cook for 5 minutes. When it
- has cooled a little, use approx. 1 tsp. of filling per grape leaf and roll up,
- as for a burrito. The filling should be totally enclosed. To cook the "raw"
- dolmas, line a large pot with grape leaves and arrange the dolmas in the pot.
- Put a plate on top to keep them from floating up, and cover with water.
- Simmer for about 1 hour.
-
- Mrs. Leitner goes on to mention that these can be served hot (with or without
- yogurt) or as a cold appetizer. Basically it's the same recipe as for stuffed
- cabbage, except there is no meat or cabbage. I've also tried dolmas elsewhere
- that leave out the raisins and tomato sauce, and sometimes add pine nuts to
- the mixture, but they are usually a bit more bland.
- Good Luck,
- :-Dan
