Introduction

Dolmas are a Mediterranean side dish generally made with beef or sausage. Stuffed grape leaves. This is my healthy vegetarian take on it. Almost no calories and very delicious! You can find grape leaves at a Mediterranean grocery or Whole Foods if there is one near (or most organic groceries). Dolmas are a Mediterranean side dish generally made with beef or sausage.
