Mom’s Chaldean Dolma – Recipe – How to make The Best Stuffed Grape Leaves on Planet Earth!
This is my Mom’s own recipe for making Chaldean Dolma. It is the greatest you will ever eat period! I love it and can eat it everyday for the rest of my life.
But no matter how you like it, this is a great starting point for making some great Dolma. Dolma pretty much means stuffed grape leaves/vegetables. It’s the word we use for this dish.
There are many countries that make this many different ways. Heck, I just found a page on Wikipedia all about Dolma. Check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolma
Please enjoy this video and the recipe behind it. I, for the first time, helped my Mom make this wonderful dish.
Eating it was the best part! Enjoy!
