How to Make Armenian Stuffed Vegetables Dolma

  1. **Prepare the Vegetables:** Wash and thoroughly dry 2 large zucchini, 2 red bell peppers, 2 yellow bell peppers, 1 green bell pepper, 4 large tomatoes, and 1 large onion.
  2. **Scoop and Prepare for Filling:** Carefully cut the tops off the peppers and zucchini, creating a lid. Gently scoop out the seeds and pulp, leaving a 1.5-2 inch diameter opening and 2-3 inch depth for filling. Core and roughly chop the tomatoes and onion.
  3. **Prepare the Filling (See separate recipe for details – adjust quantities based on vegetable size):** [Add link to separate filling recipe here if available]
  4. **Fill the Vegetables:** Spoon the prepared filling into the hollowed-out vegetables, filling them generously.
  5. **Arrange and Prepare for Cooking:** Arrange the stuffed vegetables upright in a large, oven-safe casserole dish.
  6. **Create the Sauce:** In a bowl, combine 28 ounces (one 28-ounce can) crushed tomatoes, 1 cup of vegetable broth, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Pour this mixture over the stuffed vegetables in the casserole dish.
  7. **Bake:** Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil or a lid. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 1-1.5 hours, or until the vegetables are tender.
  8. **Serve:** Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve hot, topped with a dollop of Mahdzoon (see separate Mahdzoon recipe - add a link here if available) and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
  9. Enjoy this delicious taste of Armenia!
