sarmi (stuffed cabbage vine leaves)

Sarmi are round or oblong balls made of vine or cabbage

leaves with filling made of minced meat and rice. This is a dish

which is also popular in other countries; in Bulgaria there are

a lot of versions for its preparation. During the summer, sarmi

with vine leaves are prepared, and during the winter they are

made by sauerkraut.

The filling can be made with minced meat, as well as without

meat. Meatless sarmi are one of the dishes, present on the

Bulgarian table on Christmas Eve. For this holiday they

are prepared from sauerkraut leaves, and in the filling rice

is mixed with raisins or walnuts instead of meat. In some

regions, fine chopped bacon is added to the filling.

Spices which season the filling are usually paprika, pepper,

savory or cumin.
