Ok so I don't always make comments on youtube but I really needed you to know that this recipe is wonderful. Dolmas are such a labor of love and I would rather cook a 5-6 hour biryani than wrap 40 of these but they were SO SO delicious once done that its worth the effort. I'm about to make it again today to keep as snacks in the fridge. I honestly think your recipe turned out more delicious than the dolmas I've had at some of the Arabic restaurants! Thank you for sharing. I will be making dolmas more frequently since your recipe is so tasty and delicious.

You need to put some extra leaves or a plate on bottom of the pot because bottom line will burn

i don't think i've ever had beef dolmas. or maybe they did have beef and i never knew it. i just love them and i miss them. there's no good Mediterranean restaurant within 100 miles of where i live.

my favourite Armenian traditional dish, there is also a version with cabbage instead of grape leaves, but i personally love the latest.
