Soften the evelik leaves in boiling water for 2 minutes, rinse in cold water, and drain.
Rinse the bulgur and rice, then finely chop the onions.
Soften the onions in olive oil for 6 minutes, then fry the tomato paste and pepper paste for 2 minutes.
Add the bulgur, rice, sumac, most of the salt, and black pepper, then toss the filling for 4 minutes.
Place filling on the evelik leaves, roll them thinly, and pack them tightly in the pot.
Add the hot water, pomegranate molasses, and remaining salt, then cook the rolls over low heat for 32 minutes.
Rest the pot for 8 minutes and serve the rolls warm.
💡 Tip: Do not boil the evelik leaves for more than 2 minutes; leaves that get too soft split into fibers while rolling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve evelik dolmasi warm with optional garlic yogurt and lemon wedges.
