Tolma udoli
A capricious and refined Armenian dish, you need to start cooking it 2-3 days before serving. They use the ribs of a young lamb for him - very tender meat without a hint of a fat tail smell. An equally important ingredient is cabbage, it should be young, even, without dark spots. Actually, tolma is a variant of stuffed cabbage, cabbage leaves with minced meat. But in dolma udoli the main thing is still meat - cabbage leaves protect it from heat, and dried apricots give the ribs bright fruity notes. The recipe for tolma udoli was shared with us by the chef from Yerevan Karo Guyumjyan, a participant of the gastronomic forum "Gastronomic Roads of the Great Silk Road" (Astrakhan, July 2017).
