These bite-size treats are hidden away in the grocery aisle near the olives and artichoke hearts and make a great addition to a Mediterranean plate.
If you are use to fresh dolmas you may not like these as much as I do. However, I actually prefer the small size and soft texture of canned dolmas over fresh.
Note that these seem really oily when you take them out of the container, but they don’t taste especially oily. Also, the oil is an unappetizing dark green due to the grape leaves. If the oil bothers you, place the dolmas on a paper towel to remove the excess oil before serving.
The container is interesting and attractive and would make a nice addition to a gourmet food basket, perhaps with some kalamata olives, red pepper or artichoke spread, and a box of flatbread.

Except, they have onions in them which totally ruins them. So does the quinoa stuffed dolmas. If you use garlic, don’t use onions, too much. Actually, just leave out onions altogether as nobody needs b.o. smelling breath. The worst smell in the world.
