I make them with cropped up cauliflower instead of the nuts and wrapped them in lettuce leave. I find grape vineleaves to tough. They tend to soke them in a brine here to soften them for tradtional rice or rice and meat dolmadas. There's a great book called The Raw Greek for some other ideas Hi, in Greece we call these Dolmadas. I make them with cropped up cauliflower instead of the nuts and wrapped them in lettuce leave.

I make hummus a lot and it is very versatile too. Tough choice, I really like Mediterranean food but I’d have to go with hummus. I make hummus a lot and it is very versatile too.

After more than 20 years as a semi-veg (with some seafood and dairy, etc.), this is exactly the issue I am wrestling with now - both ethically and healthwise. I think one key factor is that we are all seeking something so we latch onto information that supports what we believe we need. We become the choir that is being preached to. Take the China Study for example. I feel extremely validated by its conclusions, but when I read critiques of it, such as on the Weston Price site, there are serious issues raised about how its numbers were obtained and crunched. Despite the massive scope of the study, it seems it was less than scientifically rigorous. As with Jordan, I feel we need to take a step back and look at the wider picture. Personally, I would love to see more discussion of this point. I just wanted to add my thanks to Jordan for addressing the elephant in the room.

They live a much less rushed lifestyle than we do and they eat together as a community or extended family all together and take their time and the meal lasts for hours where they talk and chew and probably digest their food better because they take the time to eat and chew properly and relax while they are eating and they are sharing the meal with others and enjoying their company. They probably digest their food better and thus get better nutrition from the food they are eating compared to our rushed, eat on the go, eat fast life style. I also agree with Nadia, we must listen to our bodies and do what feels good and feels right for us, individually, and not care about any labels. The goal is to feel good in body and mind. Very interesting conversation, thanks! Also, the answer to Kevin's question for me is HUMMUS! I love hummus and have many different recipes, olive hummus, red pepper hummus, etc. Answer to Jordan, etc.

If I make this recipe, I would definitely use cauliflower instead of pine nuts, which have the consistency of rice. Also, to me the #1 best part of eating a dolma is the olive oil dripping from your fingers. I would soak those collards in olive oil to soften them so they're not crunchy, and then soak the whole dolma in olive oil like I'm used to. Hmmmm...good fats. Dolmas all the way!
