"grape leaves" news and stories

Looking for the grape leaves here? By the time this grilled salmon is served, the leaves have done their job and gone. Blogger anotherpintplease uses grape leaves -- which he soaks in water for 20 minutes -- to wrap the fish as it goes on the grill (you can see some of these little bundles in the photo's background). They help maintain the salmon's moisture and flavor when it meets the flames. Once the fish is cooked, unwrap the package, toss the charred leaves, crack a Belgian beer and eat.

The recipe, which calls for a stuffing of walnuts, garlic, dill and cilantro, with lemon juice, is adapted from Stephen Raichlen's good-humored and always instructive The Barbecue Bible. And if you actually want to eat your grape leaves, try this traditional Greek recipe for stuffing them.
