You ever have anything you dodnt like at first but learned to appreciate later?
Working at a mediterranean place and had one of these. First time i had it i was somewhere between dissapointed and "wtf is this". Then for some reason i started craving them and now im practically eating a few every day. Same shit happened with ipa's every weekend

they give me really weird shits
A Turkish neighbour from years back used to make these for me. The stuffing was not just rice but with meat and was a bit spicy, they were delicious. It pains me that I'll never be able to ask her for the recipe.

>wine leaves (preferrably picked fresh and soaked in a vinegar/citrus/water mixture)
Filling:
>300g bulgur
>150g tartar (traditional)or mince
>a big or two small potatoes that have been cooked fork tender
>onions that have been diced and sauteed till tranluscent
>tomatoe paste
>smoked paprika
>salt
>pepper
Roll the fillings into the leaves, tightly. Fill a pot with them, add water till they are all covered, use leftover leaves to create a sort of lid, slice a lemon and put them on top of your leaf roof, cook for an hour and then on low until almost all water has evaporated, serve with garlic yoghurt

I thought those were greek dolmas. But I guess turkish and greek food are essentially the same since turkey subjugated greece for so long.

Greek is the poor mans turkish food.
Except for moussaka, that shit is gold

In the U.S. we call it Mediterranean. It basically encapsulates Greece, Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries.

a lot of crossing over between the two cuisines given their shared history/geography
the greek version generally has only rice and herbs, whereas, the turkish equivalent often has meat and tomato as well
