Butternut Squash Dolmades

Introducing the most amazing explosion of flavor I've ever experienced (maybe). I don't remember the last time I've eaten something so flavorful.


It looks very simple, but the taste is incredible. These are Butternut Squash Dolmades: grape leaves stuffed with butternut squash, rice, pine nuts and tarragon, served with lemon yogurt. Simple yet sooo tasty. I still get the shivers when I think about it.

Besides the butternut squash dolmades, the lamb at Zaytinya was also very delicious. John said it was the best lamb he's ever had. Definitely going again (if I get the chance) to try out the other dishes!

Here's a pretty collage I made of the dishes we ordered. I still can't get over those dolmades.
