📚 Dolma, noun.
🔉 /ˈdɒlmə/ 🇬🇧
❓ Definition: A dish consisting of ingredients such as meat and spiced rice wrapped in vine or cabbage leaves, popular in the Balkans, the Caucasus, and the eastern Mediterranean.
❗️ Examples:
1. To start I ordered the Greek dolmades (vine leaves) stuffed with rice, lamb, pork, mint and dill and served with lemon juice for €9.
2. To me, they're preferable to Greek dolmades (rice and grape leaf rolls).
3. There's also a host of other traditional Greek dishes, like dolmades (grape leaves wrapped around rice), gyros (a type of donair) and spanikopita.
4. We loaded our plates with hummus and pita, deliciously lemony dolmas, pickled golden beets, a mess of roasted vegetables, and buttery corn pudding.
5. And of course, there are even more meat dishes, such as chicken with mushrooms (in a fried shell), boiled lamb, stuffed meat with sauce, and Turkish dolmas.
