{"title":"Dolmades","description":"\u003cp\u003eDolmades — vine leaves stuffed with rice, olive oil, herbs, and sometimes minced meat — are one of the most enduring and widely loved dishes in the entire Greek kitchen. The combination of the slightly tangy, tender vine leaf wrapper with the savoury, herb-fragrant rice filling is a balance of flavours that has been refined over centuries of preparation across the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two main traditions: dolmades yalantzi (literally 'fake' dolmades — the vegetarian version, served cold, with a filling of rice, onion, dill, mint, and lemon) and dolmades with minced meat, served warm, often with avgolemono egg-lemon sauce. Both are extraordinary when made from quality ingredients — and our jarred dolmades maintain the quality of home cooking in a convenient ready-to-serve format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also carry vine leaves in brine for those who prefer to make their own at home — a project worth undertaking at least once. The vine leaves we stock are picked at the right moment of tenderness and brined to preserve them without the industrial processing that makes many commercial vine leaves tough and over-salted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe dolmades as part of a meze spread with olives, feta, tzatziki, and crusty bread. Dress with good olive oil and a squeeze of lemon at the last moment. A genuinely crowd-pleasing dish that requires no explanation to anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/0643\/1830\/collections\/dolmades.jpg?v=1776595684","url":"https:\/\/checkout.backtonatureorganicfoods.co.uk\/collections\/dolmades.oembed","provider":"Back to Nature Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
