About Dolma

Ozlem Warren connects these stuffed peppers and tomatoes with cooking in her mother and grandmother's kitchens. Her rendition fills both vegetables with ground beef, wholegrain basmati rice, grated onion and herbs.

Parsley and dried mint season the filling with black pepper. The scooped tomato flesh becomes part of the cooking sauce, joined by garlic and, optionally, red pepper paste.

The vegetables simmer upright with their own tops as lids. At serving, some of the sauce is spooned over them before the caps are replaced; plain yogurt accompanies the hot dolmas.
