For the vegetarian dolmades:
- 150g Quorn Vegetarian Meat-Free Mince
- 10 sprays one calorie cooking spray
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 gloves garlic, crushed
- 75g cooked brown rice
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- ¼ tsp cumin
- 25g raisins
- 150ml low salt vegetable stock
- 5g flat leaf parsley, chopped
- 12 vine leaves

For the whipped feta dip (optional):
- 25g feta
- 25g low fat Greek style yoghurt
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 1 tbsp pomegranate seeds

Method
- Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cooking spray, Quorn Vegetarian Mince, onion, garlic, rice, lemon juice and zest, tomato puree, cumin, raisins and stock. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Once the mix has cooled add the parsley and mix well.
- To assemble, place a vine leaf onto a chopping board, add 2 teaspoons of filling to the centre of the leaf, wrap the side edges of the leaf over the filling then roll to encase the filling. Place seam side down. Repeat to use all of the leaves and filling.
- To cook, pre-heat the oven to 160°C (fan)/ 180°C electric/Gas Mark 4. Place the sliced lemon in one layer on the base of a medium sized saucepan. Place the dolmades seam side down on top of the lemon layer (they can sit snuggly together).
- Pour 150ml of cold water over the dolmades in the pan.
- Place a lid on the pan and cook in a pre-heated oven for 25 minutes.
For the whipped feta dip…
- Place the feta, yoghurt, lemon juice and zest into a food processor. Blitz for 1 minute.
- Spoon into a dip serving dish and decorate with pomegranate seeds, a drizzle of honey, mint leaves and a pinch of nigella seeds.
To serve…
- Arrange the dolmades on a serving platter with the whipped feta dip and enjoy!
Chefs tip
Be careful not to roll the dolmades too tightly, they will expand a little when cooked.
