Dolma Japrak, or stuffed vine leaves, are a classic dish where pickled grape leaves are filled with a savory mixture of spiced lamb mince and rice. The onions are lightly browned before mixing with the meat and herbs, then carefully wrapped into tight parcels. These are simmered gently in boiling water for over an hour, allowing the rice to cook through and absorb all the liquid and flavors. They're best served after a short rest, letting the flavors settle.
