Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

STEP 1
How to make dolma in Azerbaijani? Prepare the ingredients needed to prepare dolma.
STEP 2
Wash the greens and chop finely with a knife. Soak the grape leaves in boiling water for 40 minutes.
STEP 3
In the meantime, chop the meat, peel the onion, add fat and make mince out of it all using a meat grinder or blender. If the meat is a little dry, I add more fat and onions - it will be juicier.
STEP 4
Mix minced meat with rice and herbs, season with salt and pepper. I used raw long-grain rice, but you can also use round rice. Before adding it to the minced meat, it must first be washed until transparent. The filling is ready.
STEP 5
Place a tablespoon of minced meat on a grape leaf and wrap it in an envelope. You can tie the envelopes with thread to prevent them from unfolding. Use almost all of the grape leaves (reserve a little) and all of the filling.
STEP 6
Place the remaining grape leaves on the bottom of the pan. Place the finished dolmushki on top. Press down with a press (I use a simple plate for this and put a jar of water on top).
STEP 7
Pour in a small amount of water, no more than a glass. Bring to a boil and then simmer over low heat for about 2 hours. Water can be added if necessary (as it boils).
STEP 8
I told you how to cook dolma in Azerbaijani style, and now I’ll tell you how to serve it. This dish should be served with kefir sauce and chopped garlic. It's amazingly delicious!

Thanks for the recipe. Delicious. Just until you get used to wrapping it quickly and the minced meat will run out. When folding, it is better not to use threads so as not to do double work. And the cooked dolmushki no longer unfold.

Oh, I have so many leaves that there’s not enough for any lamb, but it’s worth a try. Daria, thanks for the recipe!!
