Mix the ground meat with the rice.

Add two finely chopped onions to the meat and rice mixture.

Add a few finely chopped tomatoes.

Scoop out the eggplant and zucchini. Don't throw away the insides—chop them up and add to the meat and rice mixture for extra flavor.

Season the filling well. Take the stems from the Swiss chard and place them at the bottom of the pot. Stuff the Swiss chard leaves with the filling—they taste amazing. You can also use grape leaves if you like.

Optional: If you want, you can add chicken wings to the bottom of the pot for extra flavor.

Stuff the Swiss chard leaves, eggplant, zucchini, and onions. You can even try stuffing cucumbers—they taste great! Just discard the scooped-out cucumber centers.

Once everything is stuffed and arranged, place the pot on the stove until you hear it sizzle. Add a few tablespoons of tomato paste dissolved in water over the dolma, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed. Lower the heat and let it simmer, then transfer to a serving dish.

If you like, you can add some fava beans during cooking for extra flavor—about a ladleful, but don't add too much.

Enjoy! 😊🌹
