Hello, everyone, and welcome! Today, I’m sharing a true labor of love and one of the most iconic dishes in Turkish cuisine: Yaprak Sarma, or Stuffed Grape Leaves.
These little parcels of joy are made from tender grape leaves, each one meticulously hand-rolled with a delicious filling of rice, onions, fresh herbs like dill and mint, and a touch of lemon. Slow-cooked in olive oil, they are the ultimate comfort food and a perfect meze (appetizer).
In this video, I’m sharing my grandmother’s authentic recipe and showing you, step-by-step, how to master the art of rolling the perfect sarma. It takes patience, but the result is so rewarding. Let’s get cooking!
