If you have nasturtium growing in your garden, why not make dolma from it? Especially since there are no authentic restrictions on this matter - in the Caucasus, dolma is rolled not only from grape leaves, but also from mulberry and cabbage leaves, like stuffed cabbage rolls. Nasturtium leaves have proven themselves to be great: thin, but do not tear. And a slightly noticeable bitterness remains with them even after heat treatment, and does not disappear without a trace, as happens, for example, with arugula. To be on the safe side , put a layer of chopped tomatoes on the bottom of the pan, then the tender leaves will definitely not fry to it.
