dolmades
Greek rice rolls
Dolmades are grape leaves stuffed with a mixture of rice, herbs, and sometimes ground meat, then rolled into small cylinders and cooked.
A staple of Greek and Middle Eastern cuisines, they're typically served cold with lemon juice or warm with egg-lemon sauce: We ordered dolmades as an appetizer.
Singular: dolma.
