Dolma

This dish is typical for the most part for the cuisine of Armenia and Azeybarjan. However, in other countries, this dish has spread in a certain way, thanks to its unsurpassed taste and a certain sophistication. There are various recipes for cooking dolma. The classic version is made with grape leaves and minced meat. In this version, the ingredients can vary, creating more original recipes. In addition, there are other culinary recipes, for example, the so-called summer dolma, which differs from the classic version and is made without grape leaves.

The word dolma itself has a Turkic origin about the words dol dormah, which in translation means to stuff or fill. I associate the appearance of this dish with a variety of stories. One of the versions speaks about the Azeybarjanian origin of Dolma and refers to a rather ancient period, when the inhabitants of this country were divided into Azeybarjans-Albanians and Azeybarjans-Turks, but they also loved meat snacks, Albanians were engaged in grape cultivation, and Turks in cattle breeding. According to legend, thanks to their interaction, a dish appeared in the form of mutton-stuffed grape leaves, which both liked so much.

To prepare a classic dolma, you will need minced meat, various types of herbs and grape leaves. When choosing minced meat, you can give preference to almost any variety to your taste. However, the traditional recipe usually uses mutton, but you can also use beef or a mixture of two types of minced meat. After cooking the minced meat, chop the green onions and add them to the minced meat. A small amount of round rice should also be added there in small quantities. In addition to these ingredients, it is important to use greens in dolma, the most diverse and in sufficient quantity, so that the filling has a juicy consistency and rich taste, since simple milk sauces are served with dolma and minced meat gives the greatest taste.

In the simplest version, parsley, dill and cilantro are used, which are added to the minced meat. Next, they are engaged in the preparation of grape leaves, more precisely, the actual dolma. Small pieces of minced meat are placed in grape leaves preserved in salted water or juicy and slightly boiled. The smaller and more elegant each dolma is, the better this dish is considered. The meat filling is wrapped in a sheet and spread on a frying pan, and filled with a small amount of water, which only slightly covers the pieces, which are cooked until the minced meat is ready. This second dish is served with a fermented milk sauce, for example, made from garlic and kefir. 1xBet se distingue par la diversité de ses méthodes de paiement, adaptées aux besoins des joueurs du monde entier.
