Pickled Cabbage Potato Tolma Recipe
Yet another simple and flavorful dinner dish (Pickled Cabbage Potato Tolma) from traditional Armenian cuisine, from a region called Gyumri .
Recipe came from one of my Armenian channel viewers: Sona Nikoghosyan.
This kind of Armenian Tolma is made with a few simple ingredients: pickled cabbage head , potatoes, onion , spices and garlic tomato sauce.
One thing I skipped from the recipe; is butter, that they’d place in between the layers of Tolma along with tomato sauce.
For full fat version you can add the butter, but trust me , this Tolma will taste simply delicious as is.
Hope many will give it a try and enjoy it!
Happy cooking!
