MY SERBIAN GRANDMA TEACHES ME HOW TO MAKE SARMA | Stuffed Cabbage Roll Recipe

[@brunabrito6330]

I’m Brazilian, but my partner is Serbian and I want to surprise him today. Thank you so much for this recipe! I absolutely love baba! She’s a star ❤️

[@hot0527]

Hey, I'm Brazilian and my Wife is Serbian! Interesting how that works.

[@2tonedangert891]

Baba is a star...I’m a Croatian Canadian and I miss my baba, I’m making Sarma today and thanks for the smiles...Živili

Hope the sarma went well, I'm sure Baba would be proud!

Just discovered your channel. Love your recipes. Married to my Serbian husband for 42 years. Lost him a couple of years ago. Lost our kids Baba 2 years ago. She used to make all these recipes exactly as you are. I try to make them too.

[@mpeknyc]

alright after watching all the sarma recipes today, I choose babas. Baba zna najbolje 🙌❤ hvala na receptu.

[@contritetishbite]

i'm soo touched to have seen this video today / it instantly took me back to when my 'Medz-Mama' passed on her recipe to me back in the days of yore (pre- youtube) / we're Western Armenian, so there's slight difference in recipe but i am digging that smoked pork: MAN, WHAT A SARMA 🤩 i am 1st-gen born in the states and over my life's experience, i've noticed that immigrant Grandparents have SOOO much bottled up inside them. Most of it never gets an opportunity to be shared in any other way than by the expression of FOOD. Language, cultural, age-related barriers (et al) play a role in that but food cuts through ALL THAT... it's been 12 years since my Grandma departed, but your video kinda put all that in perspective again for me today, with a fresh smile on my 💗 so thnx 🙌😊

[@judithliebaert]

My father was Serbian. My mother learned how to make Sarma from his mother. We had many Croations foods. When you said "coffee break", that took me right back. There was always a coffee break when women were in the kitchen cooking. You and your Baba are so cute.

[@tetkanadia9045]

We have to keep the tradition going, there will ALWAYS be time for coffee 🤩

[@persona2grata]

This takes me back. My father is Serbian but my mother is German and she was the one who actually cooked the sarma for our Slava every year using a recipe from my Baba. Absolutely delicious dish, I've never known any non-vegetarian who doesn't love it, and it makes your house smell amazing! I would practically dream about it in the weeks leading up to Slava, then I would eat leftover sarma for weeks until I got so sick of it I never wanted to see another bowl of it ever again, lol. Until the next January that was, when my cravings would kick in again. Now that I have my own home I'd like to try my hand at making it, so thank you for the recipe!.

[@tetkanadia9045]

This is so awesome, thank you for sharing! I know exactly what you mean, you love it until you hate it! The first time can be a little scary, but Im sure you'll do a great job and it will taste just like how your mom used to make :)

[@persona2grata]

@@janakolasinac1686 I did last year, twice! The first pot was a nearly total loss lol, didn't know what I was doing and messed up just so, so many things. Threw it out and made a second pot which came out tasty. Did my customary gorging and froze the bulk of it for my best friend and his family. My friend said it only lasted until the next day, so I'd say that was at least some confirmation I got it right. :)

[@csillaf.2366]

I love cabbage rolls a lot 😍! We make it the same way like your grandma…. because we are a neighbor of Serbia.

[@tetkanadia9045]

That's great! I'd love to try the Italian version!

[@230608grace]

My family is Croatian and our sarma is just about the same with whole cabbage being sour. We make sauerkraut in the barrel for the late fall and in time to have cabbage rolls for over Christmas and then to last until April. A barrel is a lot and it is kept in garage.

[@crude4u1948]

Your Baba is so cute. And you're not too bad yourself. I love to cook and was watching a video about Serbia before the revolution. They mentioned sarma and I found your video. This is one of the best cooking videos I've watched. There was enough detail about the ingredients that I'm going to try to scale it down a little and make it for friends. I'm hoping I can find a European store here to buy the pickled cabbage heads so I don't have to wait three month to make my sarma. Again, great video.

We moved to northern Ontario, Nadia and I’ve been craving SARMA! I’ve never made them before but I had my dad and stepmom send me kupus & smoked meat so I could make some up here… my stepmom Karin sent me this video so I could learn how to make it. She had no idea you guys were family and I’ve already watched this when you first posted it. So great that I could use this to learn and grateful to see yours and Kuma’s face. Made me smile! Please send my love and regards to the family! Love and miss you all xoxox

[@mobilnistudio]

​@@tetkanadia9045 Dear Nadia, you never freeze already cooked Sarma. It tends to be mushy after defrost. Here's the catch. You do everything till the point of cooking it all. You stir fry meat and all, and make rolls with fresh sour cabbage, and just freeze it like that! Than, in months, when you wish for Sarma, you just take it direct out of freeze and put it in a pot, smoked meat, ribs, what not,...and cook it like freshly made. And it is like heaven, no mush! Also, you eat it with Proja (like corn bread) ! P.S. Baba is a queen!... :~))

Hi ladies, thank you for this. My father used to make these years ago and we never got a recipe from him before he passed away. So I appreciate this.

Hehehe we make sarmale ( Sarma is for singular in Romanian language) in Romania too. But we put same tomato past in that meat composition to give color instead of paprika, and it give an very good flavor. I understand Baba , my mom and all my sisters don’t measure the onions and all those ingredients, they make it just because they know how much to put it just by looking. Baba in Romanian means old woman. Thank you grandma

[@Nanikoo_]

Love how it’s being passed down through the generations! First her mom taught her now she’s teaching you 😍 I have a question - I noticed the cabbage wasn’t shown prior to rolling. Did you have you boil it so that it’d be that soft for rolling? (I’m obvs in the early stages of cooking lol)

[@tetkanadia9045]

Thanks Diana! We used pickled cabbage heads (kiseli kupus). We pickle it ourselves, but most European delicacy stores and even some chain grocery stores sell it! Hope this helps :)

It is difficult to peel the leaves if you dont boil the cabbage a little bit, whether it s pickled cabbage or not. Leaves will tear.. But I guess you know it by now, as my answer comes quite late
