Vegetarian Stuffed Grape Leaves | Tori Avey. The seven-day Jewish holiday of Sukkot begins this evening when the sun goes down.

The Sukkot menu generally features vegetables and fruits that are harvested at the turn of the season. As a food lover, this holiday is one of my favorites because we are encouraged to create dishes from fresh seasonal ingredients.

Names and etymology[edit] Dolma cooked with olive oil without minced meat is sometimes called yalancı dolma, "yalancı" literally meaning 'liar' (which in this case means 'false' or 'fake') in Turkish.[5][6] Different types of dolma In some countries, the usual name for the dish is a borrowing of dolma or yaprak (meaning 'leaf' in Turkish), in others it is a calque, and sometimes the two coexist with distinct meanings: Albanian: japrak; Arabic: محشي‎ maḥshi ('stuffed'), محشي ورق عنب (maḥshī waraq 'inab, 'stuffed grape leaf'); Persian: دلمه‎,"dolme", Persian: برگ‎ "barg" Greek: ντολμάς dolmas (for the leaf-wrapped kind) and γεμιστά yemista 'stuffed'; Kurdish: dolma (دۆلمە), yaprakh (یاپراخ).

In Aleppo, the word يبرق yabraq refers to stuffed vine leaves, while محشي maḥshī refers to stuffed cabbage leaves and stuffed vegetables. Filling[edit] Variants[edit] Armenian[edit] Armenian dolma before cooking Armenian dolma after cooking Azerbaijani traditional national dish of the yaprag dolması. Sarma (food) Turkish yaprak sarma (with grape leaves) Sarma is a dish of grape, cabbage or chard leaves rolled around a filling usually based on minced meat, or a sweet dish of filo dough wrapped around a filling often of various kinds of chopped nuts. It is found in the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire from the Middle East to the Balkans and Central Europe. Sarma means 'a wrapped thing' in the Turkish language, from the verb sarmak 'to wrap' or 'to roll'.[1] Yaprak Sarma (grape leaves with meat) may also be commonly called yaprak dolması 'filled leaf' or simply dolma 'stuffed thing', although linguisticallyit is not correct.

Dolma, which properly refers to stuffed vegetables, is often conflated with sarma. Yaprak sarma without meat (grape leaves filled with rice flavoured with pine nuts, blackcurrants and spices) is usually called "yalancı (false) dolma".
