Sarmale is one of the dishes I most enjoyed during my stay in Romania in 1991. Thanks for sharing this recipe that brought back such wonderful memories.

I used your recipe to make Sarmale for the ‘Culinary around the World event’ I participated in and linked it back to your blog.
The Sarmale turned out delicious. My daughters even brought them to school for lunch!

Thanks again for sharing!

Hi
Brilliant to see a recipe for Sarmale. Had Christmas in Brasov and Sarmale was the main course. Have always enjoyed it.

Thanks for the website and Happy Christmas to you

This feast makes our traditional roast seem tame by comparison although in England we did have a smorgasbord of food in the evening - cold meats and salad, pork pies, sausage rolls and scotch eggs (mum used to only bake those at Christmas), mince pies and various other baked goodies - always far too much food but it did last us for days after.

mmm….Mihaela! Sarmale is my most favorite Romanian dish — and now I have the recipe! I am sure I will have it before — but maybe I will also surprise my family and friends and prepare it next Christmas, maybe even instead of Turkey. But I may have a mutiny on my hands if there is no turkey — as you know it is difficult to do away with established traditions!

Thanks for posting this — and have a very, merry and wonderful Christmas (even if it is in Germany)!

Well… sarmale is the plural of sarma – which makes sense.:)The dish has Turkish origins – and it is naturally common for Turkey and all other countries influenced by Turkish culture, including Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, etc. I am not surprised that the recipe is similar

I’ll link to your blog as well. I am glad to hear you are covering Romanian food as well. Do you have a “mititei” recipe?

Hi! I am one of Kerry Kubilius’ colleagues at About.com. I have a Web site on Eastern European food. Romania is one of the countries I cover. I have so many countries to cover, I am still building my content. The recipe you post here for sarmale are exactly like Serbian sarma, which I have on my site. They’re wonderful, aren’t they?
