Armenian Tolma
Ingredients
Step-by-step preparation
STEP 1
How to make Armenian tolma? First, prepare the ingredients for the filling. The meat is required without bones, only pulp. Instead of meat, you can use store-bought minced meat in the same proportions, but it is advisable that it contains a minimum amount of fat.
STEP 2
Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water is clear and dry.
STEP 3
Peel the onion and garlic. Cut the onion into pieces.
STEP 4
Wash the beef, dry it and cut into medium pieces.
STEP 5
Also wash the pork meat and cut into pieces.
STEP 6
Pass both types of meat, onion, garlic, dill and parsley through a meat grinder.
STEP 7
Add washed rice, dried basil, tarragon and mint to the minced meat.
STEP 8
Knead the minced meat thoroughly. Add salt and paprika and stir again.
STEP 9
Wrap the bowl of minced meat in a bag and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
STEP 10
Remove the grape leaves from the jar and rinse with hot water.
STEP 11
Place the sheet with the glossy side down and straighten it out. Place some minced meat on the wide part of the sheet.
STEP 12
Roll the sheet into a roll, tucking in the side edges.
STEP 13
Roll all the other rolls in the same way.
STEP 14
Place the rolls in a cast iron pan or cauldron.
STEP 15
Place several whole grape leaves on top. Place a plate on them. Pour in enough water to cover the plate.
STEP 16
Cover the pan with a lid and place on low heat. Simmer for about 1 hour or longer until done.
STEP 17
Now prepare the necessary ingredients for the sauce.
STEP 18
Wash the cucumber and grate it on a coarse grater. The skin, if it is not rough, damaged or bitter, does not need to be cut off.
STEP 19
Wash the dill, dry and finely chop.
STEP 20
Beat the sour cream with a fork. Add grated cucumber, dill, garlic, coriander and salt to the sour cream. Mix everything and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
