Sarma · Sarajevo

Sarma is minced meat and rice rolled in leaves; Nanina Kuhinja says the Bosnian winter version uses sour cabbage, while vine-leaf rolls are called japrak.

Wikipedia says sarma is a Turkish word meaning wrap and that the dish originated in Ottoman cuisine, a stuffed-leaf member of the dolma family now found across the Balkans, Bosnia included. Nanina Kuhinja calls vine-leaf meat rolls very popular in Bosnia, says the winter tradition is to make them with sour cabbage, and gives sarma and japrak as the traditional names. Barhana lists cabbage rolls at 14 KM.
