Midye Dolma - Mussels on the go

A light, fresh, and healthy snack

Midye dolma is a popular Turkish street food item consisting of mussels that are filled with an aromatic blend of rice, herbs, nuts, and spices such as raisins, pine nuts, saffron, black pepper, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, parsley, and dill. To consume midye dolma, the top shell should be gently broken, followed by a generous squeeze of lemon juice over the stuffing.

The stuffing is then typically consumed using the loose shell as a spoon.
