For the Filling:

• Tomato flesh, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, grated
• 6 ounces water or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½-1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 400 °F, 200 °C.
Prepare the vegetables: Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting into wedges. Soak them in cold water until ready to use to keep them from turning brown. Slice the tops off of the tomatoes and set aside. Using a spoon, carefully remove the flesh of the tomatoes, chop it u and place it in a small bowl. Slice the tops off of the peppers and set aside. Discard the seeds.
Prepare the filling: Cook the chopped onions and olive oil over medium heat until soft and golden. About 10 minutes. Add the grated garlic and heat through a few seconds taking care not to burn it. Add the rice to the pan and cook over medium heat about 8 minutes or until translucent. Add the tomatoes, zucchini, salt, pepper, and water. Cook over medium-high heat or until the liquids are absorbed. About 8-10 minutes. Add the parsley, mint, and oregano along with the crumbled feta cheese. Mix until incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.
Prepare the sauce: Cook the onions and oil over medium heat until soft and golden. About 10 minutes. Add the garlic and heat through a few seconds. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, sugar, and oregano. Simmer over medium heat until thickened. About 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Assemble the meal:
• Pour the sauce into a baking dish large enough to hold all of the vegetables.
• Drain the water from the potatoes. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and oregano.
• You may season the insides of the vegetables with some salt if desired.
• Fill the vegetables to the top with the filling. Cover with the vegetable tops and brush lightly with some olive oil. Place the stuffed vegetables in the baking dish over the sauce and season lightly with some salt.

• Cover the tray with parchment paper and foil.
• Bake them covered for 45 minutes.

AUTHENTIC TURKISH COOKING TECHNIQUE: “DOLMA” ???? | Stuffed Bell Peppers Recipe ????????
Today our topic is the anatomy of dolma. I really think and believe that dolma represents our society. It is collectivistic and there are many parts which make dolma beautiful. Rice, meat, onion, garlic, spices, tomato, herbs, fat, oil… all has a different role and when they come together to become dolma, the sum becomes more than its parts! You've probably seen and made more than one dolma in different ways. However, I would like to explain to you in detail what the Turkish style of dolma is using a simple delicious stuffed bell pepper. Thus, when you want to make another type of dolma, you can use this technique to make your own one with your ingredients.

Turkish Style Stuffed Bell Peppers
Servings: 10
Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 55 minutes
20 green bell peppers
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
For the stuffing,
200 g minced meat
1.5 large onion, grated
1 tablespoon salt
4 cloves garlic, pureed
100 ml tomato puree, 1/3 cup + 1 heaping tablespoon
1 tablespoon pepper paste
4 tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
100 ml olive oil, 1/3 cup + 1 heaping tablespoon
12 spring parsley, finely chopped
2 spring fresh mint, finely chopped
250 g rice, 1 +1/4 cups
For the sauce
500 ml hot water, 2 cups
1 tablespoon butter
100 ml tomato puree, 1/3 cup + 1 heaping tablespoon
1 tablespoon tomato paste, increase tomato puree to 200 ml if you don’t have paste
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pinches of sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
· Remove the stems of the bell peppers by pressing your thumb down gently and take out the extra seeds. Thus, you will have a perfect hole for stuffing.
· Mix the sugar and salt and rub inside of the peppers with the mixture to explode the cells so that flavours of the stuffing mixture will get into the skin of the pepper.
· Cut the sides of the tomatoes and set aside to use them as lids. Grate the rest of the tomatoes for stuffing mixture.
· Soak the rice into water for 15 minutes.
· Combine the minced meat with the onion, salt, garlic and knead it.
· Add the tomato puree, pepper paste, grated tomatoes, olive oil, butter, black pepper, cumin, and allspice.
· Then add the rice, parsley and fresh mint and mix until all the ingredients are combined.
· To make the sauce, mix the hot water, butter, tomato puree, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, sugar, and olive oil in a beaker.
· Add 200 ml sauce to stuffing mixture to make it juicier and tastier.
· With a teaspoon fill each pepper with the stuffing. Make sure that you don’t overfill your peppers. Rice should have enough space to expand while it cooks. Close the peppers with the tomato lids.
· After filling the peppers place them tightly into a large, shallow, and oven-safe pot.
· Pour the tomato sauce on peppers, cover with the lid, and start to cook it on high heat until it boils. Then turn the heat on low and cook for 25 minutes.
· After 25 minutes, take the lid and place the pot into the oven, a little higher than the middle rack. Bake at 200C (392F) on upper and lower heat with fan for 30 minutes until partially browned. Your great Turkish dolma is ready to dig in. I strongly recommend serving with yoghurt.
