A filling main dish where zucchini is stuffed with a ground-meat rice filling and cooked in a tomato broth. This classic dolma, served with garlicky yogurt, is one of the most beloved dishes of summer tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Hollow out the zucchini

12 min

Cut off the ends of the zucchini and hollow them out with a scooping spoon, leaving about half a centimeter of flesh on the sides.

2

Prepare the filling

6 min

Knead together the ground meat, washed rice, onion, tomato paste, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a bowl to combine.

3

Stuff the zucchini

10 min

Fill the zucchini two-thirds full with the filling. Caution: Do not overfill, as the rice will swell and crack the zucchini.

4

Cook

40 min

Arrange the zucchini in a pot, add the grated tomato and hot water, press down with an inverted plate, and cook over low heat until the rice and zucchini soften.

5

Serve

2 min

Serve the hot dolma with garlicky yogurt.

Reminder

Important: When hollowing out the zucchini, don't thin the walls too much or they'll fall apart while cooking; leave about half a centimeter of flesh. Fill the stuffing to about two-thirds full, since the rice will expand. Contains ground meat; the yogurt served alongside contains milk.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Don't throw away the scooped-out zucchini flesh; you can sauté it with ground meat and add it to mücver (zucchini fritters) or menemen for your next meal, so nothing goes to waste.
