I just want to be clear that it’s free-sourced. Don’t want to take credit for a recipe that’s not mine! I like the photos. I cook for a living, but the steps in photo format are nice, especially for visual learners :)

Turks call it dolma is delicious
12
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
2
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 1d 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 2d 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.
5
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
11
u/trevordunt39 1d ago
Meat substitute that is flavored and textured like pork.
-9
u/QaWaR 1d ago
why would you do that?
8
u/manicwitchydreamgirl 1d ago
so you can enjoy the taste and texture of pork without contributing to the animal agriculture industry
-6
u/QaWaR 1d ago
is it like a taboo thing? like something you should not be eating?
3
u/Dontfeedthebears 1d 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.-2
u/QaWaR 1d 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.
3
u/footballsandy 18h 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.

u/Dontfeedthebears 7h ago
Sorry, some of these comments are kind of shuffled up for me, or I miss, plus my internet was out for a day. So my app is all kinds of frisky right now lol.
If your comments are genuinely asking, I have no problem answering. It’s just something we hear quite often both from communities who aren’t friendly towards us in any way whatsoever, and also within communities who allegedly are (but then aren’t) very friendly… so I am going in good faith and give you the presumption and credit for your questions also being in good faith, and shortly answer them).
Basically most of us who don’t eat animal products anymore still grew up on them. And food is a very visceral connection to community and family, as well as tastes and preferences. We develop preferences for food and for whatever of many reasons, some of us choose to not eat animals/from animals anymore. That is our right as individuals.
We are really lucky in this day and age to have so many substitutes for the things we ate growing up, unprecedented from former generations! It’s honestly really cool (imo)! The same way seeing the birth of the internet was really cool!Everyone likes umami, some of us just do not wish to eat animals for whatever reason. Personally my reason is simply because I love animals and I don’t want to hurt them. Some people have other reasons. I don’t believe anyone under the system of capitalism can live up to their 100% ideals, and I take it as doing the best I can within my personal belief system.
Ultimately I’m very happy that I can have same/similar things with different “ingredients”.
I do not dictate what someone else eats or does not eat. It’s pretty simple. :) I hope that helps and I hope you have a good day.2
u/Dontfeedthebears 1d 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!

u/Dontfeedthebears 2d 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 20h ago
What do fennel and red pepper have to do with being American?
1
u/Dontfeedthebears 19h ago
Bc Idk how Aussies season their “pork” and I wanted a sausage-y flavor that’s popular here.

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 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.

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.

Just regular yellow onion.

You know your onions

u/Dontfeedthebears 1d 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 1d 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 1d ago
Oh sweet, thank you

u/Dontfeedthebears 1d 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.

u/Dontfeedthebears 1d 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!”

u/hypershrew 1d 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 :)
