Grape Leaves [Cooking]

2010 Oct 14
If this has come up before, apologies. Does anyone know where I can buy some grape leaves? I have to do a recipe this weekend.

Thanks in advance!

Most if not all middle east grocery stores sell them. From what I have been told (many years ago), the jars from California are among the best.

I just did a recipe for Daring Cooks, and I found grape leaves at Al-Jazeera supermarket on Wellington just east of Parkdale. They had 3 or 4 different kinds, but don't get the Al-Ahlam brand (green label and lid, 1-pound jar), as the leaves were so deeply lobed that there was very little space for filling.

Thanks! Actually Travelicious, that's what I need them for too - Daring Kitchen! I live way in the West End and didn't want to have to go too far.

Remarkably, I found them tonight at Giant Tiger in Stittsville - who knew? They had quite a good selection of Middle Eastern foods.

Thanks for your help mybluestar and Travelicious.

Cool! I didn't realize there were other members in Ottawa. I'll be by to check your post when it's up.
