Sarma

Cultural Context

Sarma, a beloved dish in Croatia, consists of fermented cabbage leaves stuffed with a savory mixture of meat and rice. Traditionally enjoyed during winter months and festive occasions, it symbolizes warmth and togetherness. Today, variations of sarma can be found across the Balkans, each with its unique twist, reflecting local ingredients and preferences.
