Istruzioni
- 1.Prepare the onions for stuffing. Cut off the top and root ends of the large onions. Make a deep vertical incision from the top to the root, being careful not to cut all the way through the other side. Blanch the whole onions in boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes until softened. Carefully remove them and let them cool. Once cool enough to handle, gently peel off the layers.
- 2.Prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, uncooked rice, finely chopped medium onion, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, and mint. Add the tomato paste, paprika, cumin, allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well combined.
- 3.Stuff the onion layers. Take each softened onion layer and place a spoonful of the filling mixture at one end. Carefully roll the onion layer to enclose the filling, creating a neat parcel. Repeat with all onion layers and remaining filling.
- 4.Arrange and simmer. Pour 15ml of olive oil into a large, deep pot or Dutch oven. Arrange the stuffed onions snugly in layers in the pot. If you have any small onion pieces or trimmings, you can place them between the stuffed onions to fill gaps.
- 5.Cook the dolma. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 15ml of olive oil with the vegetable broth or water. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the liquid over the stuffed onions until they are almost covered. Place a heat-proof plate directly on top of the onions to keep them submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the onions are very tender.
- 6.Serve. Carefully remove the plate and serve the stuffed onions hot, garnished with fresh lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy this healthy, balanced, and delicious dish.
