Sarmi · Plovdiv
Bulgarian sarmi are cabbage or vine leaves stuffed with rice, minced pork and dill. The Christmas Eve table classic and a winter mehana standby.
Sarmi descend from Ottoman dolma (stuffed vegetables) and were absorbed into Bulgarian Christmas tradition. The pickled cabbage leaf version is winter; vine leaves are summer. Each Bulgarian grandmother has a slightly different ratio. Distinguishable from Romanian sarmale by their dill-heavy seasoning.
