About 1 kg (14-15 leaves) of pickled cabbage to envelope the sarmas is needed. One sarma holds around 2-3 table spoons of rice filling and is depending on the size of the cabbage leaf. Look at the Zelevi sarmi recipe for a detailed description on how to roll the sarmas. Place the sarmas over the meat and pour the pickled cabbage sauce. Grease with 40 ml sunflower oil. Cover with cabbage leaves (5-6 leaves, around 350 g) on top and sidelong. They will prevent sarmas and meat to burn from the heat. Put in a cold oven and bake for 2 hours at 200 C. |
