Shams Dolma Stuffed Grape Leaves, 14.1 oz (400g)

Tender grape leaves hand-stuffed with a traditional recipe of rice, onions, and aromatic spices including mint and cardamom. Vegan, non-GMO, and ready to serve cold with a squeeze of lemon or warmed in tomato sauce. A classic Mediterranean appetizer that travels well from the tin to the table.

400 g can in a printed cardboard sleeve. Grape leaves hand-rolled around rice with onion and tomato, seasoned with mint, dill, cardamom and cinnamon — a warmer, more aromatic spice profile than the lemon-and-dill Balkan style. Pack copy: "hand stuffed with our traditional recipe… the homemade taste you expect from Shams."

The bigger tin — 400 g against ZerGüt's 280 g — and a distinctly different recipe. Tomato is in the filling, and the spicing runs to cardamom and cinnamon, which gives it a Levantine character rather than a Balkan one. Vegan and Non-GMO. The pack suggests serving cold with a dash of lemon as an appetiser, or heated in tomato sauce as a side dish.
