Sarma is a traditional dish widely enjoyed in Balkan, Turkish, and Middle Eastern cuisines. It typically consists of cabbage or grape leaves stuffed with a flavorful mix of ground meat—commonly beef, lamb, or pork—combined with rice, onions, and spices like paprika and dill. The rolls are simmered in a broth or tomato-based sauce, imparting a rich, savory taste. Sarma is often considered a nutritious dish due to its high protein content from the meat and vitamins from the cabbage or grape leaves. The inclusion of rice adds carbohydrates for energy, though its precise nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation methods. When cooked with lean meat and minimal added fats, Sarma fits well into a balanced diet, but versions high in fatty cuts of meat or excessive salt may be less healthy. Its hearty flavor and cultural significance make it a staple comfort food in its regions of origin.
