Having tried “dolma” from several countries I like these the best. Traditionally these are very small, quarter sized. The big leaves you can get in jars in the U.S. can be halved to make nice little ones. But nothing beats the dolma from fresh tender leaves.
I’m not a vegetarian, but occasionally I cook vegetarian meals for my dad (He hates them, but they’re good for his diabetes!) These are Thai style rissoles, made with black eyed beans, and they’re absolutely delicious!
Saw this on Huey’s Kitchen and the DH was interested but with a few tweaks for dietary reasons. Posting as I plan to make – the changes are I used spring onion for finely chopped red onion and cut brown onion chunky instead of finely and omitted the coriander (4 tablespoons finely chopped). At this stage times are estimated. I have since made this and have done some further changes.
I love this when the fresh asparagus is in season. Sometimes I throw in some onion wedges or a red capsicum for colour with the asparagus. Prep time includes marinating time.
