Dolmadakia Stuffed Vine Leaves with Rice

Stuffed vine leaves, or dolmadakia, are probably my favourite thing to make, and eat, in the world. The taste of the vine leaf, the rice and veg filling, the squirt of sharp lemon and the dip of yoghurt.

It all just transports me back to my childhood, when I’d slip quietly into the kitchen to try to take one or two to ‘try’ after my mother had made them. Turns out, cycles continue, because that’s exactly what my youngest daughter does today!
