In the next installment of CB Cooks, a series that brings our walk leaders into your home for a live cooking demonstration, Carolina Doriti, our Athens bureau chief, will be cooking dolmades avgolemono, stuffed grape leaves with avgolemono sauce. Her Instagram Live will run on Thursday, May 7, at 11:30 a.m. EDT (GMT-4).

1 large onion, chopped
1 spring onion, chopped
3 full tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 full tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 full tablespoons chopped fresh dill
