Spicy Iraqi Dolma the BEST of all stuffed vegetable recipes
Serious Mealtimes / Amanda Suarez
Rice and meat-stuffed vegetables often called dolma are popular in Central Asia the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Most versions follow the same basic pattern: vegetables (including cabbage or grape leaves) stuffed with a hearty mixture of ground meat and rice flavorings such as onion and garlic tomato paste red pepper paste and spices slowly simmered in a savory spicy tomato broth.
Once cooked the rice bursts open and the filling becomes a moist tender cohesive mess. The bundles are like juicy meatballs wrapped in a tender vegetable wrapper. Nestled in a pool of braising juices with a dollop of cooling yogurt on the side dolma is a deeply satisfying dish—and a favorite in my Armenian family both as a meal for large gatherings and even as a weeknight dinner when made on a more modest scale.
