I just harvested and prepped some grape leaves (instructions at my blog), but now I’m too tired to make dolmades. This is a great idea!

simply beautiful and I have a huge bag of pine nuts I’ve been trying to find ways to use. Was this for me? I have this on the “must” list! I love the taste of the Mediterranean!

Karen,

What a wonderful story! I swear, next time I go out to eat, if I like what I’m eating, I’m asking for the recipe!! Lucky you.

AndreaZ,
Hmm. D-con–yes, it sometimes felt like some kind of “poison”!! Love the umeboshi idea, thanks. For next time!

grumpychair,
Yay! Glad this one is good for you. Let me know how you like it if you do try it.

Lisa,
I wish I’d been able to recognize it as “nonsense” when I was in the throes of it. . . I guess getting older is useful in some ways, at least!

Courtney,
Wow, are you ever a great daughter! (Though I’m sure your mother appreciates the hours of sweat and toil to make real dolmades). This really is a lazy person’s version, but still really good.

Melody,
How cool that you work where they’d serve this in a deli case? (Where–? Okay, I’m off to your blog to see if I can find it). And glad you liked the de/con(struc)tion!!

Monika,
I’ve never actually tried them from scratch, but I imagine they’d be really hard (and the comments so far seem to corroborate that idea!). This is a nice way to bet around it.

CCV,
Yes, much better than the literary theory! I actually do love the leaves, but have never tried using them instead of collards in this casserole. . .may give it a try next time.

Johanna,
I actually eat the canned variety often as well, when I crave the “real” thing. I’ll look forward to your post if/when you give the rolled ones a try.

Helen,
Thanks so much for your kind comment, and for visiting! And best of luck with those exams, whatever the theory involved

holler,
Feta would be a great addition, I think. And all I can say is, you don’t know how lucky you are to have avoided that blasted theory. . .

Good thinking Ricki! It looks absolutely delicious. Would be good with some feta sprinkled on top too!

I am glad I never had to study deconstruction
