It has been fantastic to get to know some of ACE’s Kurdish speaking families over recent weeks and there are some extremely keen cooks amongst them! This week, Shayma prepared this wonderful Kurdish Dolma at home for us to share together. She insisted it was the best Kurdish dish and we had to agree! Whereas normally we cook together at Pass it On, this was a real celebration of food in Kurdish culture so we thought it would be great to invite some of the children along. They shared some of their favourite Kurdish food too. 

Dolma consists of finely chopped vegetables including onion, carrots and aubergine, cooked with rice and meat such as lamb or chicken and spiced with coriander. This is wrapped in vine leaves or cabbage leaves and cooked in a large covered dish on the hob or in the oven. It was absolutely delicious. Thank you.
