SARMA (STUFFED CABBAGE)
For this satisfying dish, cabbage leaves are stuffed with a seasoned mixture of rice, ground beef, pork and ham. They are then laid on a bed of sauerkraut and simmered to completion. This is the best stuffed cabbage recipe I've ever tried.

Steps:
- Place cabbage in the freezer for a few days. The night before making the rolls, take it out to thaw.
- In a large bowl, combine the beef, pork, ham, rice, onion, egg, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well. Form meat mixture into oblong balls, using 1/2 cup of the mixture at a time. Then, wrap a cabbage leaf around each ball.
- Spread the sauerkraut in the bottom of a large pot, then layer cabbage rolls on top, placing them seam-side down. Pour tomato juice over rolls, then add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 3 hours, adding more water as necessary.

SARMA (CROATIAN SAUERKRAUT ROLLS)
Origin of this meal is Turkish. They also call this meal the same. There are many ways of making "sarma" and they differ according to the region. This recipe is my mother who is an expert in "sarma" making. It is also old recipe, actually my grandmother recipe.

Steps:
- Take the whole sauerkraut head and remove leaves carefully avoiding damaging them. 1500 g should give about 20 to 25 sarmas. Cut the thick part at the bottom of each leaf (cut it triangularly).
- Mix grounded beef, pork and bacon. Add two eggs and very finely minced onion. Cook rice until half done and add into meat. Add salt, pepper and mix hard.
- Take leaf of sauerkraut and put meat in it and make a small package making sure to close ends. I don't know how to explain it but you have to press leaf end into. Do it until you have enough meat or leaves.
- Take a really large pot and start to put sarmas in it. At the bottom put smoked bacon skins if you have any, than one layer of sarmas, one layer bacon or pork ribs. Also add sliced sauerkraut in between. After you lay all sarmas and bacon, ribs and sliced sauerkraut, pour 2 cups of brine over everything (this is optional, my family like really sour sauerkraut that's why I've put it).
- Cook for about 1 hour on mild fire. Some people, and I'm among them like to add this: take small pan, melt lard and fry flour until brownish - add paprika and some cold water and make creamy stuff (we call this "ajmbren"). Add this into sarma and cook 2 to 3 hours.
- The best sarma in the next day, not the day you've cooked it. You can eat sarma up to whole week; you can also freeze portions. We eat cooked potato on lard and onion with it called "restani krumpir".
SARMA - BOSNIAN STUFFED CABBAGE LEAVES
There are different versions of this recipe from all over the Balkans. You may be able to get sour cabbage from an Eastern European market; if not, you can boil the cabbage heads until soft enough to work with (the dish will taste slightly different - maybe add some vinegar to the broth). It is a very filling dish! Don't worry about leftovers, they taste just fine reheated (use the stove, not the microwave)!

Steps:
- Separate the cabbage leaves, being careful not to tear them.
- Mix meat, rice, onion, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Place about a tablespoon or more (use your own judgment based on the size of the leaves) of the meat mixture into each cabbage leaf, near its base.
- Begin rolling the leaf from the base into a thick cylinder, tucking in the sides after the first "roll."
- Layer the cylinders tightly into a medium-sized or large pot.
- Cover the sarma with beef stock or water (I find that if you use water, it makes its own broth anyways with the meat as it cooks).
- Cover the pot, bring to a boil, and simmer for at least three hours.
- Serve with butter and sour cream, with or without some of the cooking liquids according to your preference.
- *Boiled potatoes are often eaten with sarma, and they go quite well together.

Steps:
- Put the cabbage into the freezer a few days beforehand, and take it out the night before making the sarma. This softens the cabbage and readies it for stuffing.
- Combine the remaining ingredients, except the sauerkraut and the tomato sauce or juice, and form into oblong balls or sarmas about the size of a clenched fist. Wrap each sarma in a cabbage leaf.
- In a large pot, layer the sauerkraut and sarmas, starting with the sauerkraut. When laying down the sarmas, make sure the seam side of the cabbage leaf faces down. Add the tomato sauce or juice and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and simmer, covered, for about 3 hours. Add more water if necessary.

- All the ingredients are here, let’s start. Ok you got me! The rice isn’t there… Please let me apologize but it didn’t want to be on the picture. Still do not forget it!
- Gently take out each leaf from the cabbage, be careful not to break them. Each leaf has a thick central stem that has to be thinned so that we can later be fold it and wrap it..
- Fry the chopped onion in a little bit of oil until it gets soft (not brown). Add the bacon and fry for a few more minutes. Add the garlic and let it fry for just a minute, we don’t want it to get burned.
- Add to the meat the onions, bacon, garlic, sweet paprika, salt and pepper and the rice (still not on the picture…). Mix together with your hands until each ingredient get well incorporated to the meat.
- Vegeta is the secret of Croatian cuisine. Its an habit to add one spoon in the meal you prepare. Maybe the habit is getting lost by the new generation (I am not actually totally sure of that), but older woman are use to cook with it.
- Let’s prepare the sarmas. Place a cabbage leaf on a plate. Put a tablespoon of the meat mix on the leaf. Make sure that the inside part of the leaf is facing you, so it will be easier to roll the leaf without breaking.
