About the dish

Domates dolmasi is a traditional dish that's also popular in Azerbaijan. It consists of stuffed and cooked tomatoes. The tomatoes are stuffed with a combination of ground lamb, rice, onions, parsley, olive oil, mint, and seasonings. They're then placed upright in a big pan and cooked until tender and the stuffing is fully cooked. Once done, the stuffed tomatoes can be topped with a sauce consisting of the flesh of scooped tomatoes, red pepper paste, and olive oil. Garnish the dish with red pepper flakes and serve it with a bowl of plain yogurt on the side for the best experience.
