Types of dolma

Dolma is divided into vegetarian, meaty and mixed varieties, depending on the stuffing. The contents of a vegetarian dolma usually consist of rice, legumes, greens and spices. The stuffing of the meaty dolma is made from both fried and raw minced beef. In mixed dolmas, the contents of the stuffing may include beans, greens, and other ingredients added, alongside the meat. Although there are more than 30 varieties and variants of dolma in different regions of Azerbaijan, its cooking techniques have not changed.
