Sarma - Bosnian Stuffed Cabbage Leaves

Sarma is a dish of grape, cabbage, monk's rhubarb or chard leaves rolled around a filling usually based on minced meat, or a sweet dish of filo dough wrapped around a filling often of various kinds of chopped nuts.

It is found in the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire from the Middle East to the Balkans and Central Europe.

Minced meat, rice, onions, and various spices, including salt, pepper and various local herbs are mixed together and then rolled into large plant leaves, which may be cabbage leaves.

Then, this combination is boiled for several hours. Then, flour browned in fat is always added at the end of the process.
