Thanks Selma, I am far a way from Turkey, I am in USA and make very often Zeytinyagli Yaprak Sarma, and everyone who tried loved it!

"Yaprak sarma" also called "zeytinyagli yaprak dolmasi" is one of the best dishes in Turkish food culture. It is a must to taste it. I usually eat it in the restaurants even it is very expensive! Very delicious

Fatih, Turkey
Thanks Miss Selma. It is very famous dish in every part of Turkey. But it looks thicker than we know. There is a motto to explain this. "Dolma should be wrapped like a pen".

Zhyldyz, Kyrgyzstan
Hi, Selma, it's really wonderful dish, here in my country we also use green pepper instead of cabbage leaves, and boil them in steamer.

Zeynep, Turkey
This is the most delicious meal I have ever tried in my life.Turkish women are number one in cooking and preparing this meal.this is the unquestionable taste in TURKEY.

Burak, Turkey
yes dolma is the name of the verb dolmak which means to fill, the same case for sarmali which derives from the verb sarmak meaning "to wrap"

Gah, Turkey
i think when we start to cook it, we should add some slims of lemon at the top of dolma

Kabra, Ankara,Turkey
I have not eaten dolma for a long time:(I is definetely delicious

Sinan, Turkey
Hi Selma. Thanks for the recipe.Those who want to cook this, I suggest you to serve it with "yoghurt".Looks like this dish is popular in all eastern countries.

Aylin Yildirim, Turkey
I think this recipe is worth trying. It's really delicious and would be a great choice for dinner.

Niloofar, Iran
1 onion,if u add a bit suger and lemon u will have iranian' dolma

Asuman Pollard, England
Very tasty & healthy. Personally I would not put sugar, finely chopped parsley would add to the flavour

Hilal, Turkey
It is also called "Sarma". And it is really delicious and healty dish. You should taste it in Turkey =)

Cinderella, Iran

Beata, Poland
In Poland we boil cabbage leaves shortly, then put mincemeat (with already boiled! rice) inside. All is being boiled in water with tomato concentrade added. It's called "gobki" which means "pigeons" -nobody knows why (the meat is pork or mixed pork and chicken). And it is national cousine too ;))

Haino, the Netherlands.
Hello Selma.Thanks for the recipee. It tastes well.I have enjoyed it with turkish,iraki, and chinese friends. I think variations are well known in more countries. Gulay Gulay.Haino.

Kaisera, Armenia
I would rather say that this dish made with beef and pork meat is Armenian dish rather than Turkish one and it is called dolma or tolma.

Fatima, Iran
We eat this dish but add meat and vegetables and split peas.

Alper, Turkey
Thanks for your beautiful receipt. It looks very delicious. One thing that I'd really miss is my mom's cooking dolma.

It looks like a good meal.

Nancy Nguyen,Vietnam

Can, Turkey
there are lots of Turkish meals like that but unfotunately most of you have never tasted them.This meal can be a common meal over the world with different receipts but please don't forget that Turkish cuisine is number one.If you have not tried Turkish meals yet please go to nearest Turkish restaurant and try it.

Emad, Libya
We know this dish in Libya and also in most Arabic countries.We learnt it from Turkish when Arabic world was a part from Turkish Empire.In Libya we called it ( Abrak ) and we add small pieces of meat to the ingredients.

Bilge, Istanbul
it is a special dish derived from a cultural blend of mainly eastern mediterrainian countries which grow olive oil and can be made in slightly different ways but generally called in turkish names such as yaprak sarma dolma meaning to leaf wrapping stuffed with an amazing taste approuved mostly by all over the world citizens

Kvitka, Ukraine
Hi all 大象传媒 gourmets! Here in Ukraine we call this dish "golubtsi". It is really a delitious dish especially if to make the stuffing with ground rice, mushrooms, carrot, onions, and cook in tomato sauce! Yummi! Selma, thank you for the recipe with vine leaves, it was a new idea personally for me!

Haghie, Iran

Esther, Israel
Looks very delicious. Thanks Selma !!

Mert Karagul, Istanbul

Violeta, Bulgaria
one important thing: to make the leaves more tender, first immerse the leaves in boiling water for a few minutes and then use them.I didn't know that is a turkish plate,I thouth bulgarian was.You can also mix the meat tritt together with rice and it becomes even more tasty.

Djahida T, Algeria

Hi Selma.This dish is very common in many countries as: Bulgaria; Croatia; Hungary; Russia; Germany; Poland and Romania. In Romania we called it Sarmale . As in Slovakia we usually take minced meat (usually beef, pork or a combination thereof) rice, onion, tomato juice and various spices. Vegetarian could use in place of meat, mushrooms. We can roll this mixture in cabbage (fresh or pickled) or vine leaf. Usually we serve this dish with: lig and cream.

Farideh, Iran
I have tried this dish several times. My mother is a very good cook and she often makes this nice meal with cabbage, vine leaves or eggplant. As dea Yaprak said this is one of the most difficult meals to make and I suggest every one to try it.
