This is exactly how my mother cooks them, i think i ate more than 10.000 sarma in my life.😋
Awww really?! This makes me so happy! Thank you for your kind feedback. Dober tek!
I'm going to try this for my Croatian hubby Hvala Puno!
Amazing! Please let me know what he thinks ❤️
@@SlovenianKitchenbyMichelle Will do x
Nothing can beat a good sarma. 👍
@@danielkerovec5950 yes 🙌🏼
Supa, supa, supa.
Had Sarma on a recent trip to Makedonia & wanted to try making my own (my Dad is from Croatia).
Followed your recipe & it turned out even better than i was anticipating. My family loved it (despite some scepticism given the ingredients - we are Australian) & now cannot get enough. Completely converted to Sarma!
Hvala puno Michelle!!!
Hi Stefan!! Wow, your message just made my day! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I am SO happy that you love my family recipe! It is a favourite in our house and we enjoy it all year long! Thanks again for sharing. Dober tek 😀
Step 1: Prep the cabbage leaves
1 x pickled cabbage head (or 15 cabbage leaves boiled in a pot of water with 1/4 cup of white vinegar for about 3 minutes). Drain and set aside
1 x 800ml jar of sauerkraut (rinsed and set aside)
• Cut spines off from cabbage leaves
• shape cabbage leaves so they’re all about the same size.
• Reserve about half a cup of the scraps. Slice very thin. Set aside for later use.
Step 2: Prepare the broth
• 2-3 diced onions (reserve 3 Tbsp’s for meat mixture)
• fry onion in 4 Tbsp’s of oil
• 2 x garlic cloves minced
• add 800ml jar of rinsed sauerkraut
• 1-2 Tbsp’s paprika
• add about 16 cups of water
• stir and let simmer on low while making meat mixture
Step 3: Meat Mixture
• fry reserved 3 Tbsp’s diced onions in oil
• 1 minced garlic clove
• in a large bowl add fried onions & garlic to 600g of a mix of ground meat (beef, pork, veal)
• 1/2 cup cooked Arborio rice
• 1 tsp of salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 2 eggs
• mix until well Combined
Step 4: Thicken the broth
• in a frying pan add 1/3 cup of oil & 5 Tbsp’s of flour
• mix on low to medium heat until well combined bubbling and golden in colour
• add 1 Tbsp paprika
• add 1-2 Tbsp’s tomato paste
• add 2 cups of boiling water and continue mixing until you have a smooth consistency and there are no lumps
• add this flour mixture to your pot of sauerkraut broth. Use a whisk and while constantly whisking continue adding the flour mixture slowly to the broth.
• season to taste with salt & pepper (and your favourite seasonings)
• cover and continue to simmer on low while making the cabbage rolls
Step 5: Making cabbage rolls
• add 1 large heaping tablespoon to middle of cabbage leaf. Fold in one side, then the other side and roll up from base of cabbage leaf towards the top end. Set aside on a plate. Continue rolling. Should make about 15 cabbage rolls
Step 6: Cook the cabbage rolls
• add the cabbage rolls slowly to the sauerkraut broth
• cover each cabbage roll that is floating to the top with the sliced reserved cabbage leaves
• Cover pot & Simmer on low for about 2 hours
Enjoy • Dober Tek
Thank you so much for this recipe! I am late to the party here, so you might not even see this post, but I'm wondering if these can be frozen? My mother's family is Croatian and Dad's is Slovenian. These sound a lot like the ones my mom used to make. I found her recipe, but it was pretty sketchy and without measurements of anything. I want to make a pot of these and a pot of the tomato type and freeze them until my son/kids come to visit, and then have a Sarma party with them and see what ones they like the best.
@gailroberts3842 yes! They can be frozen. I always make a huge batch and freeze them. Dober tek 🙌🏼❤️🤗
Wow...Thank you so much for the speedy reply! I'll be making them tomorrow. Happy New Year!@@SlovenianKitchenbyMichelle
@gailroberts3842 My pleasure!… that’s fantastic! I hope you love the recipe as much as our family does. Happy New Year and All the best! Dober tek
I’m the only one in my family that took the time to learn from my grandpa how to make his sarma. I’ve never done a good job getting them rolled evenly and stuck together but this video helped! I’ve been forgetting to trim the spine and poke the ends. Only real difference in our recipe is that we use pork fat instead of oil to make the sauce.
Thank you for sharing! I’m so glad that my Mom’s tips for rolling the cabbage rolls helped you make yours. Love that you learned and are keeping the traditions of your family going strong. Dober tek
Oh yes!🥰
sarma is always the best especially during the winter
Yes 🙌🏼 yummy!!
@@SlovenianKitchenbyMichelle are you fricking married, I'd like to cook it for you
Can’t wait to try making myself, I grew up eating this made by moja babica and have missed since she has gone
Awww how wonderful!! Please let me know what you think when you try this recipe 💗
I’m looking forward to trying this recipe…. I will be making sour heads and sauerkraut in the next few weeks….
That is so amazing!! Let me know what you think!! Yummy…dober tek!!
Kind of, Granny made that meat mixture, but made einbrine sauce and added sour cream at the end. No kraut or extra cabbage ?
No salt pork to saute the onions and garlic?
You can if you like!? We usually add the spices and seasoning to the broth.
Will have to try my own invention. Very good tips but we always used tomato sauce.
I think I will make it like you. It sounds good. I have Serbian cousins who stuffed with smoked butt ! That's sounds good too !, But expensive now days !
Amazing let me know what you think if you give it a try! 🥰
This looks amazing 😍 I order my favorites from Balkanfresh.com!
