How to pickle grape leaves for the winter - the best recipe
When chefs offer dozens of recipes for pickling grape leaves, they are being a little disingenuous. Of course, you can pickle cucumbers in grape leaves, but this is just a recipe for pickling cucumbers. Such leaves are not suitable for preparing dolma. They will become too saturated with the taste of cucumbers and will ruin the traditional taste of dolma. One recipe for pickling grape leaves for the winter is enough, because this is just a component of the dish, and completely different ingredients will give it taste.
Lightly salted green tomatoes are a simple and very tasty snack for the whole year.
