Sarma - Stuffed Leaves
Sarma (Turkish cabbage rolls) is a fragrant minced meat wrapped in grape leaves. Incredibly delicious dish! Small, the size of a little finger, sarma is laid out in a slide on a dish. It is served with yogurt sauce with crushed garlic.
Ingredients
- grape leaves 20 pcs.
- minced meat 300 g
- onion 1 pc.
- rice 5 tbsp
- a handful of pine nuts
- tomato sauce 1-2 tbsp
- mint 4 sprigs
- parsley 3 sprigs
- zira 1 tsp.
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- lemon 1 pc.
STEP-BY-STEP COOKING RECIPE
Step 1
Rinse the grape leaves, cut the petioles and pour boiling water until the water cools down to room temperature.
Step 2
Chop the onion in a blender and simmer a little in a pan, avoiding frying. Dry the nuts in the microwave. Chop parsley and mint. Mix everything together with the minced meat, add spices, salt, a little lemon juice. Mix well.
Step 3
Put a little minced meat on the edge of the sheet 1-2 tsp. and wrap the minced meat in grape leaves.
Step 4
Sarma is made very small in size, about the size of a finger. So wrap all the leaves.
Step 5
Place the sarma tightly in a saucepan, put 2-3 lemon rings between each layer.
Step 6
Stir the tomato sauce in the water and pour over the sarma. So that it does not float up and does not unfold during stewing, I advise you to put a plate on top of a smaller diameter than a saucepan.
Step 7
Simmer over low heat for 40-60 minutes.
Step 8
Put the sarma on a plate. Serve with sarma yoghurt sauce with crushed garlic.
