An Aegean-style olive-oil dish made by separating the layers of large onions, stuffing them with an olive-oil rice filling, and cooking over low heat. The onion's slightly sweet character is balanced by currants and mint, and it is served cold.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the onions

15 min

Make a cross-cut on top of the onions and blanch in boiling water for 3-4 minutes; once cooled, separate the layers one by one.

2

Prepare the filling

10 min

Mix the rice, currants, pine nuts, dried mint, dill, salt and sugar in a bowl.

3

Fill the onion leaves

15 min

Place a dessertspoon of filling on each onion leaf and roll loosely.

4

Cook over low heat

35 min

Arrange the stuffed rolls tightly in a pot, add olive oil and water on top, and cook covered over low heat for 30-35 minutes; serve with lemon once cooled.

Reminder

Important: cut a cross into the onions and soak them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes to easily separate the layers. Caution: don't press the layers too tightly when stuffing, the filling expands while cooking and can tear the onion layer.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Adding a pinch of cinnamon and dried mint to the filling strengthens the sweet-and-sour balance characteristic of Aegean cuisine in the onion dolma — don't forget to drizzle plenty of olive oil before serving.
