Ultimate Turkish STUFFED ONIONS – How to Make Sogan Dolmasi

Sogan Dolmasi (Soğan Dolması) is a type of dolma dishes, a stuffed vegetable dish with origins in the Ottoman Empire. Dolma dishes are prevalent across Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisines and have been enjoyed for centuries. In Ottoman times, stuffed vegetables were a symbol of abundance and creativity in the kitchen. While dolma can be made with peppers, zucchini, eggplants, and grape leaves (usually called sarma as they are rolled), this version features large onions as the star ingredient, stuffed with a rich lamb and bulgur filling. This particular version, common in southeastern Turkey, is beloved for its balance of spicy, tangy, and savory flavors, enhanced by pomegranate molasses and red pepper paste (biber salcasi), which are staples in the region. The sauce, made with infused sumac, gives it an extra tang, bringing out the sweetness of the onions while making each bite burst with flavor.
