How to wrap dolmades

Simple tips for smart food…

Pre-cooked and ready-to-use vine leaves are available in jars. Once the leaves have been removed from the jar, unfold them and neatly lay each leaf on a smooth working surface. Place a little filling in the centre of the leaf and, starting from the stem, roll tightly, turning in the ends so that the filling is secure. Shape the filled vine leaves into an oblong roll.

FILLING IDEAS
• Rice, herbs and lemon zest • Spinach, mince and herbs

COOK’S TIP
The rice needs to be raw when mixing it with other ingredients.
