Method

Make the filling

Mix the minced beef, rice, grated onion, parsley, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper together.

Stuff the vegetables

Loosely fill the peppers, zucchini and tomatoes with the meat and rice mixture, leaving a little room for the rice to expand.

Arrange in the pot

Stand the stuffed vegetables upright and snugly in a wide pot.

Add the braising liquid

Whisk the tomato paste and olive oil into the water and pour it around the vegetables.

Braise gently

Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the rice inside is fully cooked.

Keep the heat low so the vegetables hold their shape instead of collapsing.

45 min

Rest and serve

Let the dolma rest briefly off the heat before serving with the braising liquid spooned over.
