What is Tokat-Style Stuffed Grape Leaves?

Tokat-style stuffed grape leaves are a regional Turkish dish, filled with minced meat, bulgur, onion and seasonings, then gently cooked in vine leaves. The leaves bring a faint tang, while the filling is savoury and hearty; once cooked, the parcels are tender and moist. The dish takes its name from Tokat, a region known for its grape-growing tradition.

In Turkey, they are commonly served warm as a main dish, often with yoghurt. Elsewhere, they can be enjoyed as a substantial alternative to the rice-filled grape-leaf rolls familiar in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Meat contributes protein, while bulgur and leaves add fibre. Pair a serving with a crisp salad, or use less oil in the filling for a lighter meal.
