Dissolve the tomato paste in half a cup of water and add it to the meat and onion mix; season with black pepper and salt. Stir and leave to boil until the sauce thickens then remove from heat and set aside.

In another skillet, fry the vegetables (parsley, dill, mint, tarragon and spring onions) in vegetable oil until they are soft. Turn off the heat and set aside.

In a saucepan, pour 2 cup of water and heat until boiling. Add in the rice and a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil again then reduce the heat. When the rice is slightly tender, turn off the heat, drain any remaining water and leave to cool.

Dolmas with Avgolemono Sauce Dolmas with Avgolemono Sauce
Dolma means something stuffed or filled, in Turkey. The sauce originated from Sephardi Jewish Cuisine from Iberia. Egg and lemon sauce is used in a lot of Middle Eastern, Greek, and Balkans cuisine. There are more areas that have a version of this sauce. I added honey and sugar so the granddaughters would eat them.Sometimes these are stuffed with minced/ground meat, nuts, fruit, vegetables and so on. Sometimes cornstarch is used to help thicken the sauce. We like this version so I stick with it.

Wild Mustard garlic leaf and red dead nettle & wild onion dolmas Wild Mustard garlic leaf and red dead nettle & wild onion dolmas
#wildfood #different Spring time is my time of the year for foraging. So much is available right outside. You can find many of these ingredients on the side of the road as you are walking down the street. Make sure you know how to identify your wild onion and garlic. When in doubt trust your nose. Should have a strong smell of onion or garlic. Also, wild food has very strong flavors, so minimum use of salts or seasoning. Enjoy what nature already provides.

Paneer stuffed ridge gourd/ Niramish Jhinger Dolma Paneer stuffed ridge gourd/ Niramish Jhinger Dolma
According to Wikipedia Dolma is any kind of stuffed vegetable which is scooped out and filled with minced meat, or vegetables. This word is of Turkish origin. So, in middle-yeast the tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplants and vine leaves are used to stuff vegetables and meat. In West-Bengal, we relish dolma prepared from pointed gourds or potol. Potoler dolma is a classic Bengali dish which is prepared either vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Here, I introduce dolma with ridge gourd or jhinge. In this recipe, I have stuffed the ridge gourd with paneer to prepare niramish jhinger dolma.#everydayveg #dolma #ridgegourd

Dolmadakia Stuffed Grape/Vine Leaves Dolmadakia Stuffed Grape/Vine Leaves
Hello, I hope all is well, and you all enjoyed your long weekend. Sunday, was the first day we BBQ for the year, it was great!!! The weather was nice, so we took out the bbq and starting our preparations. My hubby really does a great job grilling. 🙂 He has his own little secrets when it comes to basting the meat before placing on the grill, I don’t get involved when it comes to grilling, seeing that he truly enjoys doing it, and he does do a great job, and believe you me it tastes fantastic. Yummyyyyy.So, to accompany our Wine, and Ouzo I made some appetizers, Dolmadakia. It really does not get any more traditional than this, seriously….. I have never actually seen anyone not use their fingers to grab one of these delicious little green stuffed with rice leaves. This is why I like to call them Finger Food…..whenever a plate of these appetizers even comes close to landing on any table, you can see how everyone just tries desperately to grab one. It’s like once everyone sees them coming it’s race on!!!A truly loved appetizer dish, along with Tzatziki, Taramosalata, Tyrosalata, Fried Zucchini, Fried Eggplants, Calamaria and the list just goes on and on. I forgot to add French Fries an absolute must! 🙂
