Vegetarian dolma (without meat)
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can make the filling from rice and vegetables, or use boiled peas or lentils. The most labor-intensive part is preparing the leaves and rolling them properly, so you can buy pre-prepared leaves. Serve the dolma hot with sour cream or a creamy sauce. Serve hot.
