Come join us in Grandma’s kitchen as she works her magic with lemons! Grandma’s dishes are well-known throughout the village for being different and delicious, and this recipe is no exception.
First, she carefully washes the lemons and squeezes out the juice. But the real secret lies in what she does with the lemon peel – soaking it in water and salt for a whole day to remove the bitterness. This extra step truly makes all the difference in the dish.
With her daughter by her side, they grate onions and mix them with meat, rice, bay leaves, and spices. This flavorful mixture is then fried in oil and stuffed inside the prepared lemons, which are placed in a clay pot and cooked in the fireplace.
The end result is a tantalizing dish that will leave your taste buds begging for more. Grandma’s dolmas are truly a labor of love and a testament to her culinary skills.
