Dolmades are a traditional dish in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly popular in Greece and Turkey. They consist of grape leaves stuffed with a mixture of rice, herbs, and sometimes minced meat. The leaves are rolled up and cooked, often served with a side of yogurt or lemon for added flavor. These savory rolls can be enjoyed warm or cold and are commonly found in meze platters, which feature a variety of small dishes. Dolmades are not only a staple in Greek households but also a favorite in many Mediterranean restaurants around the world.
