Dolma-Stuffed Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
with Lemon-Dill Potato Wedges & Toum
"Dolma" refers to stuffed vegetables from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Iconic Greek stuffed grape leaves are delicious little bundles of rice seasoned with onion, dill, and mint. We layer these into grilled cheese sandwiches and serve them with lemony potatoes and a bold, creamy garlic sauce.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine potato, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on baking sheet and toss. Bake until potato wedges are golden brown and fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Add lemon zest, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper to potatoes and toss to combine. Set aside. (4-servings: use 2 tbsp olive oil)
Meanwhile, stir together parsley, roasted red peppers, 1 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl. In separate small bowl, stir together mayo, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt. (4-servings: use 2 tsp olive oil)
Place 2 slices sourdough on clean work surface. Spread just 1 tbsp toum on each slice and divide red pepper relish between slices. Top with mozzarella and dolmas. Close sandwiches with remaining sourdough slices.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sandwiches and cook until golden brown and cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (4-servings: use 2 tbsp olive oil) (TIP: If bread is getting too dark but cheese hasn't melted yet, lower heat.)
Cut dolma-stuffed grilled cheese sandwiches in half and transfer to serving plates. Serve with lemon-dill potato wedges and extra toum for dipping. Enjoy!
