No rice?

dude wtf why didn't you put the top back on?

>>14272149
Where you from OP? Some ex yu shithole?

>>14272160
Try barley once, it holds shape much better than rice and doesn't dilute the meat flavor like rice. I'm not going back to rice ever again

>>14272160
Oh right I forgot to mention, yes with rice, and the broth its currently cooking in is cooked tomato sauce

>>14272149

Nice, hope they were tasty & tender

>>14272166

lol

>>14272167
yes im from bosnia, this is my first time making these

>>14272174
Looks good, do you add some dried/smoked meat like bacon? My grandma does it and it makes a lot of difference

>>14272186
in the recipei was following there was no mention of other types of meat but that does sound really good, thanks

>>14272149
pic of cross section?

>>14272207
You can chop it in tiny cubes and mix with meat or add slices/bigger pieces to the sauce so it infuses the flavor in. I usually use scraps like bacon skin or pršut bone/cartilage, like Italians put in their soups and stews

>>14272167
Its also healthier and tastier.

looks pretty good, i got to try making it. how long to cook? i assume just simmer?

>>14272405
before adding the peppers into a big pan, you have to make something we call "zaprška". it a little oil with a tiny bit of flour (half a spoon full), stirr it sonstantly untill its desolved, then you add the peppers, stuff as many as you can. then add a little bit of water. untill the peppers are halfway drowned in it. then you can set a timer of 45min. wait till the water starts boiling. when it does, add the cooked tomato sauce. by now your peppers top should be just above the surface. set the flame to about medium and keep the lid of the pot on. and let it simmer like that.
(optional) open the lid every 8-10 min to let some steam out untill they are done

>>14272440
also instead of "zaprška" you can just use cream as the base for the broth

if your adding rice, dont overcook. the meat will be super tender, so you can add a bit of crunch in the rice.
and dolma always tastes better the second day

>>14272440
It's called roux in english I think

>>14272405
Just google punjene paprike and google translate the recipe. For extra flavor use bacon in the sauce or any other smoked meat. It's not in 90% of the recipes but it's a regional variation and tastes much better

>>14272466
i love dolma too, but i prefer it with pickled salad leaves instead of the trad grape leaves

Here's mine:
Sauteing onion, garlic, celeriac and finely chopped bacon. Seasoned with salt, pepper, tbsp of smoked paprika, parsley. When onion softens add rice and mix.

Mix that shit with meat, either ground beef or beef+pork mix. Add more salt, meat gotta be well seasoned

Fill peppers, cap with tomatoes like OP, with celeriac cubes like my mom or with nothing, doesn't matter anyway

Put peppers in a pot or pressure cooker, make sauce from roux, a can of tomato puree/diced tomatoes and 5 cups of water (or more, until it covers everything). Optional: Add some bacon skin/scraps to the sauce for the flavor

When it starts boiling reduce the gas, 45 minutes in pressure cooker or simmer for hour and half in a regular pot


wa la

Most traditional side dish is mashed potatoes, can be served with cooked potatoes, rice or bread

What the fuck is that? It looks disgusting

Holy shit that looks good

Use red peppers,they taste better

>>14272149
Looks like a bunch of prolapsed anuses

>>14273116
like your face? yeah it does

>>14272752
Did it once, it tastes sweeter and lacks the acidity from white bell peppers. Red are better cut up in half, filled with spiced meat mixture and baked in oven instead of braising in sauce.

Good job OP. Would eat/10.

>>14272149
I've never seen the tomato topper before. I'll have to give that a try.

>>14272149
Is that just a tomato inside a bellpepper?

>>14273588
Its a slice of tomato used as a lid for the stuffing. Since you dont use the stem of the pepper to close it. This is completely optional. Its decoration

>>14273665
I just put some red sauce ontop of it myself

>>14273673
Some put cheese on top. But thats when you bake them, not ideal for simmering since the pepper can turn around into the broth

>>14272149
Thank you for reminding me to watch some Proxie Paige scenes today

>>14272149
it is not possible to rate someones food purely from a picture, however I know what bell peppers taste like and so just on that your food is crap for using the green ones. use the red ones next time.

>>14272149
They look like a big sloppa shit.

>>14273716
You mean green like these? OP used white bell peppers, they taste completely different from the colored ones

>>14273775
Also white ones are a little bit spicy

>>14272149
looks like the inside of an anus

It looks horrible but I like you anyway. Rock on bosnianhertzenegro
