C. Middle Eastern - most particularly Greek cuisine with that name but the Turkish make it as well
Middle-eastern of course. The word 'dolma' is Turkish and it means 'stuffed'. There is a controversy whether this dish(es) is Turkish or Greek, but who cares.
Mainly, dolma conjures 'stuffed vine leaves', although the same ingredients are also stuffed into tomatoes, potatoes, courgettes, artichokes.
There are two main types:
1- with ground beef
2- without any meat.
Main ingredients are: rice, chopped onions, parsley, tomatoes, spices etc.
If it is made without meat, we call it 'yalanci dolma' which in Turkish means 'false dolma'.
It is (and should be) cooked with olive oil.
We prefer to have natural yogurt with dolma.
Typically Middle-Eastern.
