Boil the dried eggplants and peppers in boiling water for 10 minutes, then drain.
Mix the rice, onions, tomato paste, spices, olive oil, and herbs in a bowl.
Fill the vegetables two-thirds full with the stuffing so the rice does not overflow as it swells.
Arrange the stuffed vegetables tightly in the pot with their openings facing upward.
Add the hot water mixed with sumac sour sauce and place a plate on top.
Cook the stuffed vegetables over low heat for 55 minutes.
Rest the pot for 15 minutes, then transfer the dolma to a serving plate without breaking them.
💡 Tip: After boiling the dried vegetables, rinse them with cold water so they do not tear while being filled.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with lemon slices and a pomegranate molasses sauce.
