You mentioned that you like a lemon flavor in them. That often comes from the yellow part of the rind, not the juice. Grate it off with a micro plane, make sure you don’t get the white pith, use it sparingly.

It’s a good addition to a surprising number of dishes.

That’s home cooking for me! I’m Armenian, I eat dolma at least once a week. Here in LA (specifically Glendale) they are served at restaurants on every street corner.

When I lived in Ohio we used to go out with the Church ladies and pick the grape leaves, then they would prepare the dolma/sarma for a Church event.

Looks like you have your recipe, but if you’re ever in Glendale, gimme a call, I’ve got you covered.

Lucky! I was introduced to them at Thanksgiving several years ago when a friend brought them over. I immediately fell in love with them. She knew I fell in love with them too because she brought them to each family gathering we had. And the hummus she made was outstanding too!

But I can't find any good ones anywhere near me. So does anyone have a good recipe they'd like to share?

I don't want them to be dry. I like the ones that have a nice juicy bite to them. Maybe it's just how long they're boiled?

I find the canned ones are really good and a lot less work. You can find them at Trader Joe's or your local Greek food store.

I'll ask my mother, she use to make them.

Hi! I'm Nick. I live in Delphos Ohio :D

Seriously though, thanks for the tips. I think there's a place in Lima that sells this sort of thing.

That would be AWESOME if she has a recipe to share.
