Yiaprakia (Stuffed Grape Leaves/Dolmades)
“And we’re rolling!” Just a couple of hours after a promised “this will be quick” beginning to end, fresh-from-the-vine, stuffed grape leaves session, Mom and I set out on rolling the first of about a hundred individual grape leaves for our large batch of the day. Mom has been on a yiaprakia roll this summer, burning through the leaves she froze last summer and using up the fresh (and frozen) leaves from this year’s harvest.
