On this episode of The Cooking Show, Farideh is in her home kitchen making Iranian grape leaves stuffed with a savory beef & rice filling. She makes the filling by first cooking aromatics like scallions, garlic, and onions, before adding ground beef, split green peas, basmati rice, and spices like saffron and cinnamon. Once the filling is ready, Farideh rolls it all up into grape leaves, and steams them with a lemon juice mixture, resulting in a vibrant, addictive handheld snack.

  1. Although that’s a really ugly looking dish I bet it tastes great and the ingredients were class. Nice for me to learn a different cultures food. Thanks! Much love.

  2. I guess homeboy on the computer is just love looking at your butt the whole time you are at your stove……I'd be ok with it 😉

  3. Lol, stuffed grape leaves are one of the few foods I don’t like. My SO loves them though. I wanna try making them for myself. Perhaps I’ll enjoy homemade ones more!

  4. In Turkish cuisine, we actually do both versions with ground beef or vegetarian. If you are preparing it with ground beef it is served hot with yoghurt and in the vegetarian version, it is served cold with lemon wedges.

  5. Iranian Dolmeh tastes the best to me, I like the square shape, we eat it a lot in Iran. We grow awesome grapes so the grape leaves are great quality.

  6. my family makes this! We call it yubla but we have it with lamb and its really tasty
