Sarma

Sarma is a type of dolma made from the same ingredients. Rather than being stuffed into hollowed-out vegetables, the ingredients are wrapped in pickled cabbage leaves and cooked over sauerkraut. The word sarma comes from the Turkish language and means "wrapped" or "rolled."

Sarma, like punjene parike, is a popular and beloved Balkan dish. Apart from the Balkans, it is popular in many countries in Central Europe, the South Caucasus, and the Middle East. It's a hearty dish that can be enjoyed any time of year, but it's especially popular in the winter and around the holidays.

Ground meat, rice, and raw onions are used to make sarma stuffing, which is similar to punjene paprike. The filling is wrapped in pickled cabbage leaves and slowly cooked in a clay pot with smoked meat and tomato sauce over a bed of sauerkraut.

Lots of travelers highly recommended this dish as one of the Serbian must-try foods.
