3-4 large onions
\n3-4 cups water
\n2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
\n1 cup rice
\n1\/2 cup onion (finely diced)
\n5 cloves garlic (minced)
\n1\/2 cup carrots (finely diced)
\n1\/2 cup red or green bell pepper (finely diced)
\n1\/2 cup french beans (finely diced)
\n1\/2 cup fresh herb of choice (I used scallion & parsley)
\n3 tbsp tomato paste (divided)
\n1 tsp allspice powder
\n1 tsp chilli powder or paprika
\n2 tsp salt (divided)
\n1 tsp ground black pepper (divided)<\/p>\n
Peel off 2-3 outer layers of onions, make a deep cut on 1 side but stop at the middle of onion.
\nPlace them into a pot, add water, bring to a boil & simmer for 15-20 mins until onions turn translucent & becomes soft.
\nDrain (reserve cooking water), let them cool for 10 mins & peel off individual layers gently (reserve inner layers that are too small)
\nIn a large bowl, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp salt, 1\/2 tsp black pepper with the rest of the ingredients & mix well with hands.
\nCombine reserved onion water, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp salt, 1\/2 tsp black pepper, mix well & set aside.
\nIn a large pot, drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil, arrange small pieces of onion set aside earlier & set aside.
\nTake 1 onion leaf, place 1 tbsp of rice mixture, roll to contain the filling & arrange inside pot (on top of small onion pieces)
\nWhen done rolling, place a heatproof plate on top of stuffed onions, pour tomato paste mixture (add more water to cover dolmas if needed) & bring to a boil on medium high.
\nCover pot, lower heat to medium low & cook for 30-40, remove 1 to test for doneness & seasoning.
\nAdjust seasoning or continue cooking if needed & serve hot, warm or cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
