Sarma

Postby Vindii » Sat Nov 26, 2011 8:56 pm

This is an old family dish that we used to have for birthdays and such. It’s normally it just the cabbage rolls and hocks and maybe a shank but this time added a few other smoked goodies.

Smoked hocks, shank, ribs, polish sausage and some smoked sausage to add to the top near the end of the cook.

Sour heads. Meat mix is ground pork, beef and a little lamb.

Then I added kraut, ribs, polish, and another layer of sarma. Topped with kraut.

On the keg to cook for a while.

Here’s the rest of the pics. Came out great. Wife was happy the house didn’t smell like kraut all day. All the meat was good but I still like the hock meat the best.

By the time my Dad, Aunt, and Cousin stop for some tomorrow I’ll be lucky to get 1 or 2 for the freezer.

My mums version didnt include smoked meat (Serbian and Croatian friends versions did)
It had just minced meat rice onion garlic and paprika
We pickled our own cabbages too.

another weekend treat during winter in my childhood

I still make it a few times a year
you need a sacrificial cabbage leaf on the bottom to stop it all burning

served with mash potato
yet to take the plunge still researching
