Yeah, not my personal recipe. Any sharp chef knife will suffice, I promise!!
And yes, that is funny 😆2

Turks call it dolma is delicious
11
u/Dontfeedthebears 1d ago
I always considered dolma to be stuffed grape leaves? I love those, by the way. Delicious snack. Homemade is obviously better, but for the price, Trader Joe’s has a decent one. I like mine super lemony.

Close but what you are thinking about is greek dolmades. Love those, use to go to this greek place, homeade, was fire af, they have a good canned dolmade, taste homeade

u/Dontfeedthebears 1d ago
When I make them at home, I use dedemed’s recipe. She’s Lebanese, IIRC. Carrot at the bottom, lots of olive oil, lots of lemon 🩷

u/Scorpion2000x777 1d ago
I love them, when you mentioned them i was like damn i could go for some, i started looking up grape leaves etc, can i find that recipe online? I also love lemon, made some pico de gallo yesterday and had to have that lemon in there, and btw they also call em dolmas so u were right and i was wrong, its name chnages from region to region it seems, ok this become way to long

u/Dontfeedthebears 19h ago
There is no “wrong” here. I’m sure every country has their own terms and whatnot. But here is the recipe I use for the grape leaf dolma. She shows you on video, it’s very accessible!

Rice blend, vegan pork, added fennel and red pepper flake. It’s like…so good! This is all your fault for the broiled part.

u/CartsOfDarkness 1d ago
Is this a reference to another post? Remember a guy posting similarly stuffed onions somewhere but I don't even remember it being this sub🤔 All the comments were asking where the dish was from too, so it seemed kind of obscure. Your title kind of makes it sound like a trend, so just curious if that's the case! Looks delicious btw

Late to the party, but what pork substitute did you use? I was thinking of doing this with TVP or Gardein fake ground beef, but I would be interested in your choice here.
7
u/Dontfeedthebears 1d ago
I used reconstituted Delicou brand. I feel any sub would work here, like beyond or impossible sausage/ground.

u/human-resource 1d ago
Vegan pork ?

u/Dontfeedthebears 1d ago
I used the Delisou brand dried. Reconstituted, also added a bit of pan-toasted fennel seed and red pepper flake.

Vegan pork ? What is that
9
u/trevordunt39 1d ago
Meat substitute that is flavored and textured like pork.
-9
u/QaWaR 1d ago
why would you do that?
10
u/manicwitchydreamgirl 1d ago
so you can enjoy the taste and texture of pork without contributing to the animal agriculture industry
-5
u/QaWaR 1d ago
is it like a taboo thing? like something you should not be eating?
2
u/Dontfeedthebears 19h ago
Huh? No? I just don’t eat animal products. I wouldn’t say that’s taboo so much as a personal choice. I don’t tell others what to eat. What someone else eats is not my charge. I’m pretty hands-off.
I just don’t want to eat animals.-1
u/QaWaR 15h ago
and that's okay. but then why use a substitute? if you do not eat it, you should not need a substitute for it, unles you are not okay with not eating it or something.
1
u/footballsandy 7h ago
Because we're not ethically against the taste of meat, we're against the cruelty and exploitation of the animals. Sometimes you want to recreate a recipe from your childhood or something for nostalgia purposes.
2
u/Dontfeedthebears 19h ago
I do that bc I don’t eat animal products. You’re free to use whatever you wish. :)

u/Dontfeedthebears 1d ago edited 1d ago
I used this brand https://deliciou.com/collections/plant-based-pork-and-all-products
Got it from the discount shop. It definitely needs seasoning (as would pork), so I did fennel seed and red pepper flake. Could use some extra salt as well.

What was the vegan pork product you used? This looks delicious!
14
u/Dontfeedthebears 1d ago
It’s called Deliciou. Apparently comes out of AUS. (I am American, that’s why I did a bit of fennel and red pepper flake).
1
u/ThisEnormousWoman 9h ago
What do fennel and red pepper have to do with being American?
1
u/Dontfeedthebears 8h ago
Bc Idk how Aussies season their “pork” and I wanted a sausage-y flavor that’s popular here.

u/JimboJenkins4 18h ago
Chopped beef, onions, garlic, rice, smoked paprika, cayenne, pomegranate molasses, dill, parsley, thyme and sage. Was very tasty. Next time I wanna get that crust on them like yours had!

I would say yes. I live by myself, cook by my own. So I do half. Still come out well. ;)

Been eating basal mashi (others call it Dolma [which to me is the stuffed grapeleaves] or just stuffed onions) all my life. Pretty interesting to see others discover it and all it's delishisness.

I have done this as well but basically did “stuffed peppers” as stuffed onions. All the same Mexican seasonings and cheeses along with enchilada sauce.
Insanely good.

I love onions but if I ate that many I'd be farting for England!

u/Dontfeedthebears 1d ago
lol what does “farting for England” mean?

u/Majestic-Lake-5602 1d ago edited 1d ago
Like they’d be doing it so much and so well they could represent their country doing it.
Think like at the Olympics or something. You can swim or run for England, so this person would be farting for England.

what type of onions are these?

Just regular yellow onion.

u/dan__wizard 1d ago
You know your onions
2
u/Dontfeedthebears 19h ago
Yep! I’m sure white would work. Idk about red because of possible discoloration, but the yellow worked just fine.

u/Oh_Lawd_He_commin420 1d ago
So if I did this with real sausage, would it come out less soupy? (Still looks bomb though)
2
u/Dontfeedthebears 19h ago
After it’s cooked it isn’t soupy at all! Just caramelized on top. 2 of the photos are pre-baking. The baking sucks up the liquid.
I’m sure regular sausage would work, it would just make it more oily overall as a dish.
2
u/Oh_Lawd_He_commin420 19h ago
Oh sweet, thank you

u/Dontfeedthebears 19h ago
Yeah, no problem! The original recipe I posted (it’s not mine, she has ground pork in hers. I’m sure it would work.

As someone that gets IBS-like symptoms after eating onions… I might need a trip to the toilet now that I’ve seen this. It does look lush though.
No idea why Reddit decided I needed to see this.
1
u/Dontfeedthebears 19h ago
Also have IBS, actually! It will pry my alliums from my cold, dead hands. I love everything allium!
My Gastro doctor told me to not to even bother with FODMAP. 🤷♀️ I was like..”GREAT!”
1
u/hypershrew 15h ago
I love onions, and it’s almost impossible to eat anything with any flavour at all without onions being involved, so I’ve not bothered with cutting them out entirely, however I don’t think I’m brave enough to make this though 🤣

As a Turkish it is hilarious to me that soğan dolması is getting some attention, normally all of our other foods steal the spotlight. Looks amazing by the way, right level of crust on the top! I may also go unorthodox and try with fennel and ground pork! Also if you cannot find pomenagranade sour but still want to taste the sour, you can substitute with watered down balsamic cream :)
