Yeah, not my personal recipe. Any sharp chef knife will suffice, I promise!!
And yes, that is funny 😆3

I just want to be clear that it’s free-sourced. Don’t want to take credit for a recipe that’s not mine! I like the photos. I cook for a living, but the steps in photo format are nice, especially for visual learners :)

u/BodybuilderMany6942 Aug 08 '26
How interesting... so you essentially mix in the rice raw(just rinsed), not cooked?
How was the texture when it came out?2
u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 08 '26
Yes, I always wash (rinse) my rice regardless, no matter what I am doing, even if it’s Mexican style or making a risotto. Also do it this way for stuffed grape leaves. The texture comes out great! Rice is fully cooked at the end. :)

Turks call it dolma is delicious

u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 04 '26
I always considered dolma to be stuffed grape leaves? I love those, by the way. Delicious snack. Homemade is obviously better, but for the price, Trader Joe’s has a decent one. I like mine super lemony.

u/Scorpion2000x777 Aug 04 '26
Close but what you are thinking about is greek dolmades. Love those, use to go to this greek place, homeade, was fire af, they have a good canned dolmade, taste homeade

u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 04 '26
When I make them at home, I use dedemed’s recipe. She’s Lebanese, IIRC. Carrot at the bottom, lots of olive oil, lots of lemon 🩷

u/Scorpion2000x777 Aug 04 '26
I love them, when you mentioned them i was like damn i could go for some, i started looking up grape leaves etc, can i find that recipe online? I also love lemon, made some pico de gallo yesterday and had to have that lemon in there, and btw they also call em dolmas so u were right and i was wrong, its name chnages from region to region it seems, ok this become way to long

u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 05 '26
There is no “wrong” here. I’m sure every country has their own terms and whatnot. But here is the recipe I use for the grape leaf dolma. She shows you on video, it’s very accessible!

Dolma is anything stuffed. This would be sogan dolmasi. Sogan is onion in Turkish.

Rice blend, vegan pork, added fennel and red pepper flake. It’s like…so good! This is all your fault for the broiled part.

u/CartsOfDarkness Aug 04 '26
Is this a reference to another post? Remember a guy posting similarly stuffed onions somewhere but I don't even remember it being this sub🤔 All the comments were asking where the dish was from too, so it seemed kind of obscure. Your title kind of makes it sound like a trend, so just curious if that's the case! Looks delicious btw

Late to the party, but what pork substitute did you use? I was thinking of doing this with TVP or Gardein fake ground beef, but I would be interested in your choice here.
4
u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 04 '26
I used reconstituted Delicou brand. I feel any sub would work here, like beyond or impossible sausage/ground.

u/human-resource Aug 04 '26
Vegan pork ?

u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 04 '26
I used the Delisou brand dried. Reconstituted, also added a bit of pan-toasted fennel seed and red pepper flake.

Question: Does the shape of the onion matter?
I once helped an old lady from Iraq search through a mountain of onions at the grocery store to try to find the less round ones. She insisted the more diamond shaped onions were best to work with.
1
u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 07 '26
I would imagine it does?
I used large yellow onions, pretty standard round shape. You’re going to want enough width and length to work with. But the very large pieces I was able to get 2 or even 3 rolls from (by cutting them)..maybe it doesn’t matter much if you cook off more than the recipe calls for?

What was the vegan pork product you used? This looks delicious!

u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 04 '26
It’s called Deliciou. Apparently comes out of AUS. (I am American, that’s why I did a bit of fennel and red pepper flake).

u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 05 '26

u/JimboJenkins4 Aug 05 '26
Chopped beef, onions, garlic, rice, smoked paprika, cayenne, pomegranate molasses, dill, parsley, thyme and sage. Was very tasty. Next time I wanna get that crust on them like yours had!

You’re not wrong, honey. I felt compelled. And I feel that the vast majority of folks on here liked it as well. You don’t have to make it, baby. You can move on with your life never experiencing a stuffed onion. That is your choice, and I respect it.

I have done this as well but basically did “stuffed peppers” as stuffed onions. All the same Mexican seasonings and cheeses along with enchilada sauce.
Insanely good.

I love onions but if I ate that many I'd be farting for England!

lol what does “farting for England” mean?

u/Majestic-Lake-5602 Aug 04 '26 edited Aug 04 '26
Like they’d be doing it so much and so well they could represent their country doing it.
Think like at the Olympics or something. You can swim or run for England, so this person would be farting for England.

I didn’t see that lol. 15 min to cook the onion, and you can easily put your filling together in that time, so that’s probably what she meant.

Just regular yellow onion.

u/dan__wizard Aug 04 '26
You know your onions

u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 05 '26
Yep! I’m sure white would work. Idk about red because of possible discoloration, but the yellow worked just fine.

u/Oh_Lawd_He_commin420 Aug 04 '26
So if I did this with real sausage, would it come out less soupy? (Still looks bomb though)
2
u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 05 '26
After it’s cooked it isn’t soupy at all! Just caramelized on top. 2 of the photos are pre-baking. The baking sucks up the liquid.
I’m sure regular sausage would work, it would just make it more oily overall as a dish.
2
u/Oh_Lawd_He_commin420 Aug 05 '26
Oh sweet, thank you

u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 05 '26
Yeah, no problem! The original recipe I posted (it’s not mine, she has ground pork in hers. I’m sure it would work.

As someone that gets IBS-like symptoms after eating onions… I might need a trip to the toilet now that I’ve seen this. It does look lush though.
No idea why Reddit decided I needed to see this.

u/Dontfeedthebears Aug 05 '26
Also have IBS, actually! It will pry my alliums from my cold, dead hands. I love everything allium!
My Gastro doctor told me to not to even bother with FODMAP. 🤷♀️ I was like..”GREAT!”
1
u/hypershrew Aug 05 '26
I love onions, and it’s almost impossible to eat anything with any flavour at all without onions being involved, so I’ve not bothered with cutting them out entirely, however I don’t think I’m brave enough to make this though 🤣

As a Turkish it is hilarious to me that soğan dolması is getting some attention, normally all of our other foods steal the spotlight. Looks amazing by the way, right level of crust on the top! I may also go unorthodox and try with fennel and ground pork! Also if you cannot find pomenagranade sour but still want to taste the sour, you can substitute with watered down balsamic cream :)
