Sarma
Sarma comes from the
Turkish verb «sarmak»
which means «to wrap.»
Traditionally it is made
from grape leaves.
It can be prepared with
rice and spices
(vegetarian) or with rice
and ground meat.
Sarma is easy enough to
make; it just takes time
and patience!; it is very
delicious!

Grape Leaves
If you are using fresh
grape leaves, put the
leaves in boiling water
and cook for 5 minutes till
they are soft. Drain and
remove the stems.
If you are using preserved
grape leaves, just remove
the stems. Place the
stems at the bottom of
your pot or saucepan. (It
is to prevent burning the
bottom layer)
Fresh leaves
Boiled leaves

Step 3:
Start rolling! This takes
awhile, so put on a good
movie, audio book or
some nice music. This is
definitely a multi-
tasking project.
Lay the Grape Leaf on a
Flat Surface.

Step 14:
Gently pile the
leaves on a plate;
careful so they
don’t unwrap.
![Page 19: How to make Sarma](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/558c1cabd8b42aa2528b45c3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Step 15:
Place a few grape leaves
on the bottom of a
shallow pot so the
sarma doesn’t burn.
Carefully place the
sarma one by one from
the edges of the pot and
work toward the middle
– once bottom layer is
laid start adding
another layer until all
the sarmas are tightly
placed.

Step 16:
Drizzle a little olive oil, the juice
of 1/2 a lemon and a little water
so that the sarmas are 3/4
covered (this means that usually
the top layer is not covered by
any liquid). Take some fresh
mint leaves and a few sliced
garlic cloves and cover the
sarmas.
Almost there! Now place a plate
over the sarmas so they don’t
unwrap during cooking. Cover
the pot and cook on low heat for
35-45 minutes. After about 35
minutes test one to see if the
rice is cooked – cook for longer
accordingly.

Step 17:
Let cool and serve warm with
yogurt or by itself. They can
also be served cold. Because of
the lemon juice they keep for
about a week (especially
without meat) if covered and
refrigerated.
In Turkish they say “eline
sağlık” to the person who
prepared the dish, meaning
“health to your hands.”
In response the person says
“afiyet olsun” meaning “enjoy
the food!”
Afiyet olsun!
