Lemon salt is easy to find. Its called citric acid. You can find it in any Middle Eastern or Arab store. You can also add pomegranate molasses and sumac to give it some sourness. I feel like you would need alot of lemon juice which will change the consistency of the filling. Unless you add the lemon juice to the water while pouring over.
@@kaileytorres4597 Use sour tomatoes and put a little pomegranate molasses, it will give you a light acidity with a slight sweetness. I do not recommend that you put a lot of acidity, because you will spoil the food. And the last advice regarding meat is to use fatty meat such as lamb, and do not chop it finely, but rather make it small cubes of meat with grease. This is the meat for the filling Lay the lamb ribs at the bottom of the pot
Yes, you can, but you have to take it out from the freezer to defrost before heating it in the microwave. You can keep it in the freezer up to a month, but it has to be in an airtight container.
thank you for this video it’s very helpful, my only wish is that you’d give us a bit more accurate or precise measurements such as how much rice and meat you used in your recipe as a guide (i know you said it’s up to our preferences and you also gave ratios however i didn’t understand too much in this way 😅) i couldn’t figure out how much water to put in my pot along with the tomato paste and my Dolma came out on the soupy side. Also can you please put in the description what the piece of metal you used is called? I’m really curious to know. Thanks again for all your videos keep them coming 😊
Thank you Daniela for your comment and your notes I will taken the in consideration and sorry for any lack of information in the description. Any way, 1. I personally use the ratio of meat:rice 1:1 or 1:2. 2. The amount of water with the tomatopaste shout be above the level of Dolma in about 1-2cm. 3. The key to cook a perfect Dolma is using high heat first and after it absorbs most of the liquid you remove the plate, reduce the heat to low and place any metal disk just to distribute the heat and leave it to take its time and cook slowly for around 1 hour. 4. Regarding the metal peace I personally had it from Iraq, but I have seen similar thing to it and for the same purpose online I will check for you and let you know. 5. You can use a rice-cooker to cook the Dolma, I personally haven't tried it but I've seen some use it and the recommend it to avoid having a soupy Dolma. Hope I've answered everything ☺
Oh and another tip when when you switch off the heat leave it to sit for 20-30 min before flipping it that will help it to re-absorb all the flavors and juices.
You can only use plack pepper as you will have the flavores from all the vegetables and meet, my mother use to do that. Even the amount of spices that I used is not that much as the batch was big so its not overpowering.
I have tasted Dolma once. But your version seems better and looks so delicious. Can't wait to try it. Thank you so much.
You are most welcome 😊

Am asian but i know dolma..

I miss Iraqi dolma so much! ❤️ This looks delicious. My only question is how much lemon juice should I use to replace the lemon salt?
Thanks for your comment, it really depends on how sour you like it, I would say one whole lemon or two 🤔.
Lemon salt is easy to find. Its called citric acid. You can find it in any Middle Eastern or Arab store. You can also add pomegranate molasses and sumac to give it some sourness.
