Wild grape leaf dolmas

My uncle’s yard is full of wild grape vines, and the leaves were large and looked like they were in good shape this year, so I picked a few to make dolmades. I ended up with more filling than leaves, so I took a short detour to the neighborhood commons to pick up a few extra leaves from the wild vines growing out there.

These are the fresh leaves I just grabbed tonight.

The leaves from my uncle’s place had been soaking in a jar of saltwater for a week or so, so they were quite a bit easier to fold than the fresh ones.

They say to go for a leaf about the size of a spread out hand for making these.

Final product.

Recipe: Chopped 1 large yellow onion and a handfull of green onions, fried in a generous amount of olive oil until soft. Then cooked 2 lbs of ground pork breakfast sausage in the onion until browned, then add 1 and 1/2 cups of short grain brown rice and 2/3 cup wild rice and fry for 2 mins before adding 3 cups of water and cooking until the water is gone. Allow the mix to cool.

Once cooled, I added chopped cinnamon basil, common sage, monarda, and lemon balm, salt and pepper, a generous amount of dried garlic mustard, lemon zest, juice of 1/2 lemon, and one egg (I should have gone with 2 eggs)

Then put 1 tablespoon approximately of this into each leaf and wrap and roll it. A heaping tablespoon for the bigger leaves, and slightly less for the smaller leaves. 

Line a big pot with grape leaves at the bottom and a layer of lemon rinds. Set the dolmas atop that, put a small lid or plate on top to keep them from coming apart and moving around, and cover with water. Cook for 45 mins on a simmer, then cool and enjoy!

Raspberries will be ready here in a week or two--so excited about that coming up!

Amid The Dystopia, There’s the Simple Things: Stuffed Grape Leaves

As the world of this present moment of 2023 seems bleak, especially to an older generation writer like Joseph Sutton, who remembers a more hopeful time, there’s always a glimmer in the simple things.

While musing over a memoir he's working on, he unexpectedly was brought back to happier times when he stumbled upon a short video clip on YouTube about stuffed grape leaves.

Posted by Jordan & Silvan of Homegrown/Hand-Gathered, the one-minute video highlights the basic steps of foraging for grape leaves and then stuffing and rolling them. What caught Sutton’s attention was that Jordan is of Syrian descent.

Robustly gathering the grape leaves, Jordan’s features are swarthy and strikingly handsome, much like Sutton was decades ago when he began his writing career.

Among the more than a-dozen-or-so books Sutton has written and published over a span of 50 years, is the one about his often-overlooked Syrian-Jewish heritage.

“The Life & Death of Abraham Massry & Other Stories” spotlights the unique family setting young Joe grew up in. “My mother used to make dolmas or yabrak, as they are called in Syria, exactly like the video on YouTube shows,” said Sutton.

“I mention Syrian food in most of my books,” he said. “My mother cooked Syrian food maybe once or twice a week. Every once in a while I would take Syrian food to school in my lunch bag.”

Sutton by all accounts lived a very American life as a kid—football, baseball, hot dogs and catching a Saturday matinee at the movies. This was a routine he knew well and cherished. Still, just as cherished was the social and cultural tapestry that gave his home-life that little extra depth of heart and soul.

Very proud of his background and the happy childhood/adolescence he had, Sutton said, “When I was in school, I wasn't considered different than anyone else. I was just a normal kid going to school with other normal kids.”

Growing up in the Los Angeles area immediately after World War II, Sutton recalled a more cohesive and uncomplicated time.

“We, as kids and teenagers, didn't have the slightest thought of where someone was from or what his religion was," he said. "Everyone's background was different. There were Italians, Greeks, Jews, Filipinos, Latinos, and Black people. I don't remember any prejudice where I grew up in the Hollywood area of L.A."

After moving from Los Angeles to San Francisco in the 1970s, Sutton went from being a Dodgers fan to a Giants fan and from being a Rams fan to a 49ers fan. Sports had always been a part of his life (Sutton played football at the University of Oregon). “As for baseball and football," he said, "all those teams I was on were made up of all ethnic backgrounds. We all got along.”

It’s only when looking at the world now in 2023 that those happier times seem far away and dim. Syria is currently embroiled in an ongoing civil war.

Speaking about the conflict currently going on in Israel and Gaza, Sutton said, "It’s very disturbing what's going on. So sad. Horrible things are happening. I wish there was peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. But it seems bleak right now. I hope there will be an immediate ceasefire.”

The short video clip (among others) of making the familiar Syrian staple of dolmas was like a flashback to the Sutton household of days gone by. The reminiscence was a tiny respite of joy and comfort in what seems like a dystopian world.

Working on his yearly journals/memoirs for the past four years has kept Sutton in the practice and rigor of writing. “I’ve completed 10 yearly journals and am about to finish my 11th this month,” he said. "Each yearly journal is like a book. Each shows one year in a writer's life, as well as the country's life."
