Stuffed Sorrel Leaves
"Stuffed Sorrel Leaves: Fine edible leaves stuffed with flavor-bombs: this dish is Turkish in origin and creates a lovely smack to your palate. The bright green sorrel leaves will turn to a muted green when cooked and develop a wonderful texture and flavor with the stuffing. You can use red onions for a tangy and sharp flavor. A teaspoon of chili flakes will create a delightful heat that contrasts with the creaminess and the sharpness of the blue cheese. You can also add freshly ground black pepper to add some heat to the stuffing."
