What is Stuffed grape leaves casserole?
Stuffed grape leaves casserole is inspired by yaprak sarma, a dish made by wrapping grape leaves around rice seasoned with herbs, spices and often onion. Across Turkey and the eastern Mediterranean, versions vary by region; some are gently cooked with olive oil and served as a composed, baked dish rather than as individual rolls.
The tender leaves bring a gentle tang, while the filling is savoury and fragrant. It is commonly served cool or at room temperature, as part of a mezze spread or alongside salads and other small plates. Rice provides most of its substance, with herbs and olive oil adding flavour; it contains 2.6 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter meal, pair a modest portion with fresh salad and lemon rather than adding heavier sides.
