Sarma, from the Turkish word "sarmak" meaning "to wrap", is a beloved comfort food across the Balkans where it’s practically a national treasure. Passed down through generations, this dish was once a staple at winter feasts, family gatherings, and holiday tables. It required a little effort and mostly time to slow cook - but the outcome is worth every bit of it!
