I'll definitely experiment! @19 Kat, prepping the leaves is easy, a lot easier than rolling up two hundred bazillion dolmadakia! The leaves tend to sit in my freezer for a long time before I get up the energy for that. @18 Val, good point. I’ll definitely experiment!

I like the fact you use all the leaves and don't waste the big or little ones. To be honest, when I was in the USA, I always bought the ones in jars or just went to Greek festivals, and now I don't make dolmadakia because my future MIL makes them for me (I'm the only one who eats them). I also never realized it was relatively easy...or maybe you just make it look easy. I'll remember to come back here when we move out of the country and return to making my own. That was a great post.

You asked about wrapping the chicken breast in grape leaves on my site. I have only ever used the brined leaves which have a lot of moisture in them. In that case I would imagine you might need to blanch fresh leaves to get as much moisture into the chicken as possible. I am only guessing..the best thing is experimentation:D It should be about time that we are able to get fresh Spring leaves locally.

It's one of those things I keep pushing to the back of the to-try list. But my friend has vine leaves in her garden, so it's worth a try. And I really love dolmades. Thanks for the comment too. Just finished a two week blitz of work. 460 people in 2 weeks, so no time left for blogging. Will be posting photos from a weeks cooking in Cornwall soon though.....
