Dolmades (or plural for Dolma - stuffed grape leaves)

Are you a Mediterranean cuisine lover like me? 
Or, haven't really tried much of their dishes? Well sista or brotha..... I highly recommend that you take a chance and try them! Life is more than burgers and fries! :-)
Go to Aladdins or Dolce Wraps and try some of their dishes, like: hummus, falafels, pitas, spanakopita, baklava and........dolmades!
No, dolmades do not have all the extras I have in the picture. ;-) I as just trying to make it look fancy.
How did I do?

Ingredients:

• Grape leaves - jar/ brand Roland
• garlic oil
• veggies: chopped/diced ( I used: eggplant, red onion, raddish, asparagus, black & green olives)- sauteed
• alfalfa
• cooked couscous
• pepper
• parsley
• chives
• green onion
• feta
• egg- separated

​

Directions:

• Cook couscous according to instructions on box. I used the smallest portion on box and there was still plenty left. But, then I didn't use rice in all my dolmades.
• Cook/saute your chopped chosen veggies and set aside.
• Pull a group of grapes leaves. They will come in three grouped rolls of maybe 10ish. Open an lay out on paper towels.
• Add whatever mix of foods towards bottom center of leaf. I did mostly different ones. But, that's how I roll. Mix it up!
• Start to roll and fold the first leaves on each side. Continue rolling a you fold the next two leaves on each side. Finish roll and maybe use egg yolk to seal them. 
• Now, feel free to eat fresh. Or, grill in pan with garlic oil for several minutes on each side on med-low heat. Or, put a bunch in at once and cover for 10-15 minutes on low heat- in case you just want it hot and cooked.
• Feel free to add toppings like: feta (which I also used in mix), egg, alfalfa, chives or parsley. Which I used most in mix as well!
• Serve and enjoy!
