Authentic Turkish Dolma (Rice-Stuffed Peppers)
- 2 Bell peppers
- 50 grams "A" Minced meat
- 50 grams "A" White rice
- 50 grams "A" Onion
- 10 grams "A" Italian parsley
- 2 tsp "A" Tomato paste
- 1/4 tsp "A" Salt
- 1 dash "A" Pepper
- 1 tsp "B" Vegetable bouillon
- 2 tsp "B" Tomato paste
- 1 "B" Your choice of vegetables, such as potatoes, onions, etc.
- Cut off the stems of the bell peppers and remove the seeds.
- To prepare the filling, finely chop the onion and parsley.
- Combine the meat, tomato paste, salt, and pepper in a bowl and thoroughly mix together.
- Add the rice, onion, and parsley to the bowl and mix.
- Stuff into the bell peppers.
- (You can cover the tops with onion.)
- Arrange the bell peppers in a pot that's just big enough for them to stand upright.
- (If the pot is big, add a potato or onion to fill the space)
- Add the B seasonings, and fill the pot with water to half the height of the peppers.
- Turn on the heat, and once it comes to a boil, pour 1 tablespoon of the soup inside each pepper.
- Cover with the lid and simmer over low heat.
- It's done after it simmers for about an hour.
- Serve it hot or chilled as an appetizer.
- I recommend serving it with a mint yogurt sauce.
- I found miniature yellow bell peppers.
- Small peppers are cute!
- I stuffed them with couscous.
- I used cooked couscous, so there was not need to worry about any grainy texture from not being cooked through.
- (The bell peppers were grilled.)
- Langkorn Spitzenreis is a yellow, long-grain rice compared to Japanese rice.
- The texture is less chewy.
- Enjoy the soup as well.
- Add the vegetables that you used to fill the space in Step 4 for a delicious touch.
- Remove the inside of the zucchinis, stuff them with the filling, then simmer...
- ....now you have zucchini dolma.
- I made the filling with just minced meat.
- Pour on the mint yogurt source
- Here's the grilled version:
- Cook the onion and ham with cooked Basmati rice.
- Season with tomato paste and vegetable bullion.
- Stuff the tomato pilaf inside the deseeded bell peppers.
- Drizzle a small amount of vegetable over the peppers, then grill in the oven.
- Here they are stuffed with pilaf.
- Cook the onion and mushrooms with the cooked Basmati rice and season with salt and pepper (and chili powder to taste).
- Stuff the pilaf filling inside the bell peppers and simmer with bouillon.
- Add ketchup to the bouillon to make a sauce.
- Serve the pilaf-stuffed peppers with tomato sauce.
