Summer is a good season to enjoy fresh veggies. This month, we got fresh bell peppers and zucchinis from Kalona and fresh sesame leaves from our garden. These are perfect ingredient for cooking healthy and hearty dishes, Salma & Dolma. Let's make them!
What you need:
- Two bell peppers
- Two middle size zucchinis
- 15 sesame leaves (or collard greens, grape leaves, or cabbage)
- 1 cup of rice
- 1 tomato
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 Tablespoon of thyme
- Black pepper
- Salt
- Red pepper flakes
- Paprika powder
How to make:
1. Wash veggies. Cut zucchini into three equal parts and remove inside. But don't make a tunnel! It should look like zucchini cups.

3. Stuff veggies using prepared rice-stuffing.
4. Place them in the pot and add water enough to cover the bottom half of veggies. Cover the pot with lids and cook until water boils.
5. Once water is boiling, decrease the heat to the medium low and cook for additional 30 minutes. At this time, slightly open the lid so that the steam goes out.
6. Let them cool and serve with yogurt.
