Yalanji
Yalanji, meaning 'imitation' in Turkish-derived vocabulary, refers to the meatless version of stuffed vine leaves common across the Levant.
Syrian vegetarian stuffed vine leaves filled with rice, tomato and pomegranate molasses, served cold as a tangy mezze staple.
Ingredients
Method
Mix rice, tomato, pomegranate molasses and olive oil for the filling.
Place a spoonful on each vine leaf and roll tightly.
Layer snugly in a pot, weigh down with a plate, and cover with water and lemon juice.
Simmer gently for 45-50 minutes until the rice is tender, then cool and serve at room temperature.
Yalanji is traditionally served cold or at room temperature, unlike meat-stuffed vine leaves which are typically served warm.
