RAW "dolmas"
I came accross a recipe for dolmas and was inspired to attempt something with what i had in the pantry. I didn't have grape leaves so i used spinach leaves that i seasoned with some apple cider vinegar, mustard seed oil and salt. The filling i made from food processing:
Sprouted chick peas
Onions
Celery
Raisins
Sumac
Garlic powder
Lemon juice
Flax seed oil
Salt
The dip i made from:
Soaked almonds, sunflower seeds and pecans
Sprouted chick peas
Saffron
Lemon juice
Salt
Garlic
Maybe nutritional yeast? I can't remember
I think that's all
It was soooooooo goooood!
Would have been better with grape leaves, but that's not really something i keep on hand. But i just might for now on!

Wow, you're so resourceful! Could you possibly link to the recipe you found as well? :)
Thanks! I referenced a recipe from the book "RAW" by Charlie Trotter & Roxanne Klein. Which I checked out from my local library.

I came across a couple of other recipes online though:

But really, you just need to capture the flavors and textures, so in place of rice, people have used parsnips, I used sprouted chick peas, but sprouted buckwheat could be good?
Flavors: lemon, olive oil, garlic, herbs, currants/or raisins, and i love sumac, which is a tart lemony/vinegary tasting spice.
PLAY! As long as you taste while going along, you can't go wrong :) Even if you don't end up with dolmas in the end, it'll be delicious! :)
Ah, thank you for the advice! It makes me quite excited to start cooking. :)
