Dolmas - Vine Leaves Stuffed with Rice

A friend from work brought this tin of dolmas, I only tried these before in actual restaurants so I was totally surprised that this ones tasted sooooo good! #EasyPrep #EasyPrepAlwaysFresh #

I've had an uneasy history with dolmas. I've always wanted to like them, but when I was first introduced to them they were just too salty/briney for me. Now that I'm in my olive era, maybe the brininess isn't too bad anymore. It could be that or these are less salty than other dolmas I've had. Either way, I really enjoy these! They are super yummy just straight from the can. The grape leaves have such a wonderful unique flavor and the rice is so creamy. It's impressive how they fit 10 snuggly in there. Now instead of saying "packed like sardines", we can use the vegan idiom, "packed like dolmas"! I made a Mediterranean-inspired mashed chickpea sandwich with these that I really enjoyed. For the sandwich, mash 4 dolmas, 1 can of Trader Joe's Greek Chickpeas with Parsley and Cumin (or make your own), a dollop of hummus, and a sprinkle of vegan feta. Add the mixture to a sandwich and cook it in a pan with a bit of olive oil.

🇺🇸 trip... ❤️ the savory taste. Texture is good, too. I usually have it with a Greek salad 🥗 and roast potatoes 🥔 but in a pinch hash browns and fried tofu works as well 😋 always with Tahini drizzled on top. I also like the fact that they are in a can and stored easily in the pantry. #glutenfree #veganisnotscary #veganfortheanimals #veganfood #vegangreekfood #yummyvegan #healthyfood #tastyfood #dolmades #abillionlove

I looove dolmas! I haven’t had them in years! But recently had the chance to enjoy the canned ones from Trader Joe’s! They are not bad. Of course there exist fresher yummier ones - but these are decent. Not too salty, good flavor. Just maybe a little soggy.

For canned stuffed grape leaves not to bad. Good in a pinch if I’m craving them and can’t make it down to the west side market for greasy ones. They are kinda soft - they don’t always come out of the can in one piece but they that decent texture and flavor.
