I used to when I lived in Spain and grew my own grapes outdoors - haven't given them a thought in years!

Qahtan you're welcome! I've eaten them in Greece but not here. I'll have to ask the allotment grape growers if anyone makes them.

Ok..in recipe they use leaves in brine...how would you prepare fresh leave..rest of the incredients are easily foraged ;D..well I've got the leaves in summer too ;D
It looks like something that my veggie sister would enjoy..me too..but as she is planning to pay visit this summer I have to start planning early ::) Does it the leaves have any poison in them if not cooked properly ;D :-X

If you Google "Dolmas" you can get a lot of info,,, q
I have not made them myself "yet"
but you can use fresh leaves very young or buy them in jars sort of pickled ready to fill/stuff, Flighty's recipe looked fine,,,,, some recipes have meat in them.. all the ones I have seen I like the look of as they don't add garlic.
I think the recipes vary as to where in the Mediterranean they come from....

look at all the things one can do when you have a grape vine, or even if they grow wild by the millions as they do here in Niagara Peninsula....
from seeds dropped by the birds from the grapes grown by the 60 plus wineries in this area.
you can soak the vines that you prune off and twist them into wreaths to be decorated for Christmas door hangings, you can make Dolmas with the young leaves, you can have grape juice, or wine or jelly, you can put dried grape skin powder in to baking ... wow it never ends,,,,,, qahtan

My Cypriot recipe if anybody fancies having a go. The vine leaves are used after the stems have been removed, but the dolma filling can also be used to stuff vegetables such as capsicums, tomatoes, onions or cabbage leaves.
The following recipe requires approximately 60 vine leaves; 500g of beef or lamb mince, a medium sized onion; 2 cups of rice; olive oil, a lemon; a small bunch of fresh mint or if unavailable dried; 5-6 tomatoes or a tin of tomatoes; cinnamon; salt and pepper.
1. Wash the freshly picked vine leaves and put into a pot of boiling water for about five minutes and then straight into cold water.
2. Peel and chop the onion finely and chop the tomatoes finely. Place the onions and tomatoes into a bowl and add the mince and rice. Add the juice of a lemon, a little olive oil, finely chopped mint, a pinch of cinnamon and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients and add a little water if needed.
4. Place a leaf on a large plate and add about two tablespoons of the mixture and fold the left and right sides over and roll the leaf tightly. Place in an oiled pan and repeat till all the mixture is used.
5. Cover the top with vine leaves, place a plate on top and a weight (usually a stone) to keep the dolmas submerged and in place.
6. Cover with boiling water, bring to the boil and simmer for about 75 minutes on a low heat.
7. Allow to stand for about 45 minutes and serve with a fresh salad.

MMM...Okra's recipe sounds yummy...I'm suprised that the vine leaves will hold things together after 75 mins....no doubt with my luck I'll just have one big 'porridge' under the lid and not a sigle leaf to be seen ::) ;D
In Finland we have bit similar dish..but we add some cooked rice into filling mixture too and we use cabbage leaves for rolling...all is cooked in oven with some stock in dish and we add sprinkle of syryp or honey on to too..sort of sweet&sour flavours.

we had a vine in London, and every year several Cypriot ladies would come and ask for the leaves.
love eating them but I've never got round to making them!
