Sogan-Dolma · Sarajevo
Sogan-dolma is the Bosnian stuffed onion, with whole onions cored and filled with minced beef and rice, then braised in a thin tomato-paprika sauce. A Sarajevo Ottoman-Bosnian summer classic.
From the Ottoman 'dolma' (stuffed) family, the Bosnian stuffed-onion variant uses summer sweet onions instead of grape leaves or peppers, with Markale-market onions the canonical Sarajevo supply. Avlija and Dveri both work the Sarajevo recipe through summer, the tomato-paprika braising sauce kept thin to coat the onion without overwhelming the sweet allium core that defines the dish.
