Cooking with MisterSarkisian: Episode 1

Episode 1: Dolma (Edited version)
Made as promised for my subscribers.
The song "NY, Boston, California" was downloaded from the Archive of Armenian Music in America: http://www.armenianmusicarch.com/

This is what the site has to say about the song:
"Recently as I was playing at an Armenian event I received a request from a young woman for 'New York, Boston, California.' I was quite surprised since in over 40 years of playing for the Armenians I had never received a request for the song. While it is in our repertoire, as are hundreds of songs, we never play the song. [...] this song is among many that describe life of the Armenians in the 'new country'"

Cook it and post a video response to let me know what you thought of the recipe!

You forgot the parsley & dill & chives & lemon juice.

I grew up calling these sarmas...dolma was the stuffed vegetables in our family. We add chopped tomato and lemon juice to the water to give a little sour taste. Also, you can roll cabbage leaves instead of grape leaves just like this!

Usally making my mother squeezes the meat down a little and just fold it like she folds it the way you would fold lavash and panir hats.
