Sarma · Belgrade
Sarma is the Serbian stuffed cabbage roll: minced pork, beef and rice rolled in a soured cabbage leaf, slow-cooked in tomato and paprika stock until the meat melts.
Sarma reached Belgrade through Ottoman rule (the Turkish sarma means rolled), then took the Serbian form: soured (kiseli kupus) rather than fresh cabbage leaves, minced pork and beef rather than lamb, slow-cooked through Christmas Eve for the Serbian Slava feast. Every Belgrade kafana has its house version.
