DOLMA? Why? Why not?

[Jaximus-Lion]

Dolma (Turkish for “stuffed”) is a family of stuffed dishes associated with Middle Eastern cuisine for centuries. Some types of dolma are made with whole vegetables, fruit, offal or seafood, while others are made by wrapping grape, cabbage, or other leaves around the filling. Wrapped dolma are known as sarma. They can be served warm or at room temperature.

You can fill it with any mix you like, my favorite is with minced meat, rice, mashed tomatoes, garlic, onion and carrot stuffing in grape leaves, with a lot of chili and lemon juice 👌. You can have any kind of fillings to it. Have you had it before? Will you try it?

Unless you know someone with a grape vine you'll struggle to be get the leaves in the uk. As for using cabbage it's not exactly a veg that inspires.

[Jaximus-Lion]

Here in Sweden, you can find the leaves almost in every grocery market. Not fresh ones though, but in a jar, ready to be stuffed 😉.

I love it. And I like the ones wrapped in cabbage leaves too, delicious.

[NathanDavis]

I prefer chiles rellenos...

Chiles en Nogada...

[Jaximus-Lion]

I never knew there was such thing 😃, and i am hungry and want to taste it. It's 6:20 am 🤣

Dolma? Where? Count me in!

[Jaximus-Lion]

How close are you to Sweden?

[more_than_a_guy]

Israel, not quite

[Chazmatazz269]

I did not know this. Thank you!
I’ve had some mediterranean foods and some were stuffed. I enjoyed them a grest deal! For my tastes, the best foods are a blend of flavors and textures. So i’ll probably enjoy dolma.

I’ve made stuffed cabbage rolls before if that counts lol

[Jaximus-Lion]

It counts, but the middle eastern won't 😁. I have made with cabbage too, chards works fine too.

[Little_Bumblebee]

I saw a YouTuber I follow made a video about them, where she tried to make them. And they looked pretty good and I wanted to try them.
So if the opportunity presents itself one day, then yeah, I would try it.

[BurntKeyboard]

Yeah, I've only had the grapefruit leaf and rice kind, at least I'm pretty sure it's rice. I mostly really like the grapefruit leaf, they usually have the pickled kind and I think it's really good

[Jaximus-Lion]

Not pickled, just cooked. And it's usually filled with rice and meat mostly.

Three of my fraternity brothers were first generation Syran-American and I have eaten meal in their homes. I've had stuffed grape leaves and stuffed squash.

[Randalama]

Not. Why? Because my lower intestine would look like it was struck by a hurricane. I'm prone to sunburn. No way I could tolerate.

[Jaximus-Lion]

Too bad 😞. What else can't your stomach tolerated?

[Randalama]

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings man, I'm just saying, a bowl of Shreddies is totes underrated.

[Jaximus-Lion]

I see, i missed that, BY MUCH

[DenizLikesTennis]

I am actually turkish 😊 so I'd highly recommend tasting them. Very delicious

You can dip them in greek yoghurt too

[melanieeeB]

I personally don't like it, it's just not delicious to me

[watercolor_lions]

I gave my husband dolma with rice. He liked it! He loves grape leaves.

[NerdInDenial]

I’m not a fan of the grape leaves because it’s too sour for my taste.

[Manab]

I am from the Indian state of west Bengal. It's particularly popular here. However, the rest of India is pretty much clueless about it.

[genericname85]

interesting. i always associated these with Sowiet Russia or maybe like Azerbaijan or Armenia rather than Turkey.

[dustybiker]

Yes. It’s all very good.

[MCheetah]

F*ck no! That looks awful!

[Avicenna]

I've Esten it a lot. It’s very tasty.

[Pterodon]

They’re delicious

[ZenJen444]

No 🤮

[Jaximus-Lion]

Why not?

[ZenJen444]

This just doesn't look appealing to me.

[Agape93]

Yes, it's delicious

[annabananna]
