Dolmade Rice image

I saw this recipe on the Food Network to make Dolmades. I sent my husband to the grocery store to get the ingredients and the store didn't have grape leaves, so I just made the rice as a side dish and made a substitution on one of the ingredients. To me, this is better the day after, when all the flavors have had time to sit.
