Dolma - reply to Nukhet was: Re: What's for dinner?

[Guest guest]

Nukhet,Did you know that the Swedish king XII (1682-1718) was so impressed with the Turkish dolma during his stay in Turkey during the early 18th century that he created a Swedish version upon his return? It's done with cabbage leaves instead of wine leaves (not too many of those in Sweden, especially not 300 years ago...), and with a meat filling. They are known as kåldolmar (kål is Swedish for cabbage, and the "r" in the end is a Swedish plural ending, so the literal translation of the name would be "cabbage dolma").They became popular very fast, and is now considered part of the traditional Swedish cuisine.I have never tried the original wine leave dolma, but am forever meaning to. My problem, however, is that I am not too fond of garlic, so I wonder, are there Turkish dolma without garlic?love/Reb> > > Subject: What's for dinner?> To: "Group" mserslife > Date: Saturday, December 10, 2011, 6:18 AM> > > >  > > > > > > I had a special request from my little 9 year old granddaughter, , for meatloaf. So I made meatloaf for dinner. For lunch the 15 year old granddaughter begged for homemade macaroni and cheese. Tomorrow for lunch it will be the ultimate comfort food banquet of leftover meatloaf and mac and cheese. How much homier can it get? lolol> > > What was for dinner at your house?> > > hugs > > Sharon> This email is a natural hand made product.
