Our measly grape vines don't provide enough leaves to stuff three pounds of ground beef so we use bottled leaves. I would love to just use our own because they're so much... softer, if that's applicable. They don't have the tough lines that go through some of the bottled leaves. Basically, it's better than nothing. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-79081288098281363462015-07-03T14:23:21.031-04:002015-07-03T14:23:21.031-04:00Z: I've never heard that word, "Yalanchi&...Z: I've never heard that word, "Yalanchi". I'll definitely ask my mother in law. I'm married into the culture so I'm not that well versed in the language, but we always stuffed grape leaves, koosa, and fatayed using a meat and rice mixture. <br /><br />I hope you're not offended by this, but I've often teased my husband about not knowing where his people were from was from because some of the boundaries changed throughout history. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-49667916945628967542015-07-03T13:52:07.988-04:002015-07-03T13:52:07.988-04:00I love stuffed grape leaves!

Great food on either side, and very close cuisines.<br />Ya, Armenians refer to DOLMA as hot and usually the whole bunch of steeped veggies stuffed with lamb, rice, etc..peppers, zucchini and grape leaves.<br />The rice filled ones (My mother's the queen on this one)are called Yalanchi. But, you know, even within Armenians, different regions call the same foods different things sometimes. That's even true in Germany, by the way...big time.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-41128789380290300452015-07-02T12:07:31.468-04:002015-07-02T12:07:31.468-04:00Z: He's both.

I thought "dolma" referred to the grape leaves, but my husband's family stuffed the "koosa" which is basically a zucchini and stewed it in a tomato based sauce. <br /><br />The grape leaves were delicious. We have grapevines, too, but they don't give us enough leaves to cook 3 lbs. of meat. We have to use bottled leaves as well. <br /><br />Isn't it always the same? You tell people how good something is, but the restaurant version is never as good as homemade. That's why you have to invite them to your house and treat them to the good stuff. <br /><br />cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-49044630816359884192015-07-02T11:34:59.615-04:002015-07-02T11:34:59.615-04:00I have very rarely had grapeleaf dolma that was go...I have very rarely had grapeleaf dolma that was good in a restaurant or store, sadly.

The ingredients are wonderful and so is the food. I wish I could FedEx some to you because the latest batch of stuffed grape leaves we bought from a local Syrian bakery were not as good as the ones we made at home. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-28863417913740445342015-07-02T09:39:30.943-04:002015-07-02T09:39:30.943-04:00Cube - You are lucky to have a husband that cooks

These grape leaves are delicious. We were taught by a master, my husband's Site (pronounced Sit-tee), which means grandmother in Lebanese. We serve them with Greek yogurt and fresh pita bread. I'm sure you'd love them. My oldest daughter's boyfriend never had them before in his whole life, but once he tried them, he keeps hinting that we should make more. Too bad he was at Camp Lejeune this time and missed out on this batch. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-29605914220804891892015-07-01T16:32:57.709-04:002015-07-01T16:32:57.709-04:00May I come over for some?

We don't grow enough of the leaves so we end up buying them, but they're still very good. <br /><br />The koosa is basically a squash that we core and stuff with meat, rice, onions, and spices. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-62753617020750226112015-07-01T14:39:54.377-04:002015-07-01T14:39:54.377-04:00Stuffed grape leaves are so good!
