Armenian dolma

Armenian dolma is a traditional dish featuring grape leaves stuffed with a mixture of rice, herbs, sometimes ground meat, and spices. The ingredients are carefully rolled into grape leaves, creating small, bite-sized parcels. These parcels are then cooked, often simmered in a flavorful broth or lemon-infused water, which allows the flavors to meld. Armenian dolma is enjoyed as a savory appetizer or main course, celebrated for its rich taste and aromatic fillings. It reflects Armenia’s culinary heritage, combining fresh ingredients with time-honored techniques that emphasize balance and depth of flavor.
