Quince Dolma Recipe

Quince Dolma Recipe

One of the hidden flavors of Turkish cuisine is quince dolma. Dolma means stuffed by the way and it's a food category in Turkish cuisine. The most popular dolmas are pepper dolma, eggplant dolma and  zucchini dolma. I don't know if it sounds a little crazy in the first place or if it's a lot more tedious than many other dolmas, but quince dolma is not so popular. But it's really delicious. The savory taste of stuffing is combined with the sweet and sour taste of quince and it gains a fantastic smell and flavor.

But it's a little bit hard to carve them as they are firm. You may think of boiling them first but it doesn't work well. If you boil them first and cook some more after filling them, they overcook and when it is overcooked they break apart.

Can Quince Be Freezed?

You can freeze all fruits including quince, but you can not eat them raw after thawing. But you can cook them frozen. All you need to do is start baking directly without thawing the frozen fruits. For quince dolma, you can carve and freeze the quinces, fill the stuffing when you decide to cook and cook them immediately.

Not to mention a final point. The color of the stuffing in the stuffing is a little darker than usual. The reason is I used purple onions. Don't worry if the colour of yours are different. Remember that the result will always change according to the ingredients used.
