More of a snack than a meal, midye dolma is none other than mussels on the half shell, mixed with spicy rice and served with a squeeze of lemon juice, served right out of a tray on every other street corner in Taksim at night.
The trick with midye dolma is to keep eating as many as the seller gives you until you feel half-full and then stop.
Otherwise, by the time the rice expands in your stomach and your brain receives the message that you’re full, you might look down to find that you’ve spent upwards of 20 TL and worse, you just might start to feel too full.
