Stuffed tomatoes are one of a number of dishes in which tomatoes are filled with ingredients, usually including rice. In 2017, dolma making in Azerbaijan was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.[2]

Names

In various languages, the name of the dish literally means "stuffed tomatoes", including Azerbaijani: Pomidor dolması and Turkish: Domates dolması).[3] Elsewhere the name specifies that the dish includes rice such as Italian: Pomodori al Riso.[1]

Preparation and ingredients

In Turkey, the fruit are stuffed with meat (lamb) and rice; other ingredients are onion, parsley, olive oil, mint, black pepper, and salt. In the Roman dish, the filing is traditionally made with rice alone[1] and it can additionally be flavored with cinnamon.[4]

In Provence, France, it is common to prepare tomate farcies with minced meat, breadcrumbs and cheese.[5] In Nice, the fruits are initially emptied and subsequently flavored with a filling of onion, garlic, aubergine, pepper, tomato paste and marjoram.[6][7]
