How to make "Dolma" by wrapping leaves with stuffings

Print Friendly and PDF

One of the classics of the Turkish cuisine are no doubt "Dolma" which is loved in every way possible. "Dolma" is also owned by the Greek, but if we look into the etymology of the word I can state that the word "Dolma" comes from Turkish origin. Actually "Dolma" means "to stuff" and the word for "to wrap" or "to roll" is "Sarma". I personally use the word sarma for rolls ans dolma for stuffed vegetables. There must have been some cross cultural influence concerning this dish we cannot be certain for the origin, but one thing is obvious that it is loved by many.

Kale Stew

Print Friendly and PDF

This robustly green and nutritional plant is a common vegetable of the Black Sea Region in Turkey. I know this stew with corn flour since my childhood. It is cooked nearly everyday in the homes of the Black Sea. It can even be eaten at breakfast. I’ve been to many restaurants and I haven’t aeen any dish that gets anywhere near my homemade recipe. They are either tasteless or the colour is black. I say firstly fulfill my sight and then my tummy, and offer you my reipe of georgious green and 100 % natural Kale stew.
