For the recipe; we picked peppers, some of greens, courgettes and tomatoes in the farm by ourselves. So the taste of meal was a different than the usual ones.
Dolma (Stuffed pepper)
Ingredients; onion, rice, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, ground pepper, dried mint, fresh mint, parsley, dill and peppers.
First chop the onion smallish and put them in a saucepan with 3-4 tsp olive oil. Fry until it becomes pink and add rice. (1 normal pepper needs 2 fully tsp rice) Roast them about 5 min by dry heat over a fire.
Then add 1 or 0.5 lemon's juice (depends on the amount of rice and your capacity for sour) and hot water (a glass of rice needs a half glass of hot water), salt, ground pepper and dried mint. Turn the fire to a low heat and leave them until water is absorbed.
Meanwhile, chop the fresh mint, parsley and dill. Cut the head of peppers and take out the seeds carefully. Don't damage the peppers.
After water is absorbed, turn the heat off and add greens: mint, parsley, dill and mix them. Wait until the mixture becomes warm, next fill the peppers with mixed rice and put them to a new saucepan. Add some water and olive oil to prevent burning, put a lid on the pan and cook about 30 min. Check the rice if they aren't soft enough to eat you should cook a bit more. Wait for it to cool down and try to eat with yogurt.
Bon appetite! (Afiyet olsun)
