Vegetarian Dolma with Quinoa and Herbs

Vegetarian Dolma with Quinoa and Herbs is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is made with a combination of quinoa, herbs, and vegetables, making it a nutritious and flavorful meal.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 2-3 grape leaves
- 1/4 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, mint, and dill)
- 1/4 cup chopped vegetables (such as onion, tomato, and bell pepper)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste

To start, rinse the grape leaves and pat them dry. In a bowl, mix together the cooked quinoa, chopped herbs, and vegetables. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
Take a grape leaf and place it on a flat surface, shiny side down. Spoon a small amount of the quinoa mixture onto the center of the leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, then roll the leaf up tightly. Repeat with the remaining grape leaves and filling.
Place the dolmas in a pot and add enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the dolmas are tender.
Once the dolmas are cooked, remove them from the pot and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
