Grape leaf pilaf
Pilaf
Armenian cuisine
I love stuffed grape leaves. My Grandma taught ESL and had many Middle Eastern students. She made these for them (and us!) all the time. In her attempt to make them feel at home, she created a dish that makes me think of home. <br /> <br />Dolmas are one of my favorites, but I don't always have it in me to carry out the production that is stuffing, wrapping and steaming them. I invented this salad as a shortcut way to get the extraordinary flavor of grape leaves that I often crave in an easy-yet-satisfying salad. <br /> <br />Because the base of the salad is rice, it travels well and can be kept at room temperature for prolonged periods of time, unlike salads that are just veggies or greens. - Anitalectric <br /> <br />
