Quinoa Stuffed Dolmas

"A favored foodstuff across a broad spectrum of cultures throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and Balkans, the term “Dolmas” actually applies to a pretty wide variety of dishes. Everything from stuffed peppers to stuffed eggplant or cabbage rolls are included, though we here in the States traditionally think of Dolmas as grape leaves stuffed with soft, seasoned rice – the kind you’d find in our ever-popular Trader Joe’s Dolmas. We love a good twist on a traditional favorite, and that’s just what we’ve created with our brand new Trader Joe’s Quinoa Stuffed Dolmas, a delicious Dolma remix from the same celebrated supplier of our original version. Each Quinoa Stuffed Dolma is made by taking naturally zesty grape leaves that have been brined and marinated until they’re soft and pliable, and carefully wrapping them around bundles of earthy quinoa that have been seasoned with lemon juice, herbs, garlic, and onion. They’re then packed in a convenient, easy-open, shelf-stable tin, so they’re ready to eat whenever you’re in need of a good snack, starter, or main course – we particularly like them slightly warmed and served with a cool, creamy sauce, like our Everything But the Bagel Greek Style Yogurt Dip or Avocado Tzatziki."
