About this dish

Dolma is a family of stuffed dishes largely associated with Ottoman cuisine. It mainly includes vegetables and leaves, and occasionally seafood, offal, fruits, and meats, that are hollowed out or wrapped, then filled with a mixture of rice, minced meat, herbs, and spices. The leaf-wrapped type can be specifically known as sarma, but colloquially dolma is used for both. Dolma has spread during the Ottoman Empire, becoming a staple food across the modern cuisines of post-Ottoman regions and nations. In 2017, the dolma-making tradition of Azerbaijan was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists. Armenia officially recognizes the preparation and consumption of tolma on its own intangible cultural heritage list.
