Therefore, there are no narrow limits in the preparation of this dish; here you can show creativity or, in other words, experiment.

For minced meat, you can use pork meat, lamb, and also add a little lard. You can mix beef and pork in half.

Here you need to proceed from what kind of meat you like best to taste. My mom loves to cook dolma with pork meat and lard. Then it turns out more juicy and tender. I still prefer beef or lamb - they have less cholesterol.

In this recipe, there is a need to leave a certain amount of grape leaves to cover the bottom and cover the dolma on top.

Step by step cooking dolma in grape leaves in a slow cooker

Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients


Step 2: Preparing the filling


Step 3: shaping and preparing dolma

  1. I put 10-15 g of minced meat on grape leaves, depending on the size of the leaves, you can take the minced meat with a spoon of a suitable size or pinch off a little with your hand and roll the balls, then wrap them in leaves.

  2. You can wrap dolma in a tube, like napkins, or in an “envelope”. I must say that the way of wrapping also affects the taste. It is more convenient to eat when dolma is wrapped in a tube, but tastier, in my opinion, when it is wrapped in an envelope. You can wrap however you like.

  3. At the bottom of the multicooker-pressure cooker bowl I spread the remaining grape leaves.
  4. I put all the envelopes tightly in the bowl.

  5. With those grape leaves that you left, you need to cover the top of the dolma. Then you can cover everything with a plate so that with its weight it does not allow the upper envelopes to unfold when boiling.

    The plate should be smaller than the bowl so that it can then be easily removed. It is better to put the plate upside down so that the steam does not accumulate and does not raise it. My mother does not put down the plate, but she wraps the leaves in a tube.


  6. I pour water or broth into the bowl so that the dolma is completely covered. Be careful with broths too, they greatly affect the taste, so if you are cooking dolma for the first time, it is better to use water.

  7. I set the quenching program for 30 minutes on the slow cooker-pressure cooker and raise the valve up so that the steam can escape freely. In thirty minutes, the dolma will be ready.
