They&#039;re also made in China, they&#039;re also made in Argentina, and November 30th is National Sarmala Day in Sweden. I read several thousand recipes, identified dozens of different leaves, hundreds of combinations of fillings, different wrapping and cooking techniques. In the last few months I have discovered sarmales made on the grill, breaded sarmales and even pickled sarmales: onion, garlic, root vegetables (the first recipe I found had carrot and beetroot), spices are put in the scalded cabbage leaf, they are folded classically and they are pickled in a normal brine. A bit more work, but it&#039;s a fabulous substitute for cabbage stuffed pepper tarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Romania I found hundreds of recipes and variations on the theme. I tasted a few dozen. There are places where festive meals are not complete without a duck stuffed with sarmals or sarmals baked in a hollowed pumpkin. Bucovina is famous for the sarmale nest: four or five pieces filled with different minced meat (even wrapped in different leaves) all wrapped in a larger leaf and cooked together. Find a perfect recipe on the blog of Constan\u021ba Carmen Paraschivescu, aka gardaculinara.ro. I had fish fritters in the Delta \u2013 fresh water fish, I read about fritters filled with canned tuna. And just when I thought I&#039;d seen them, I&#039;m exaggerating, this surprise from the seaside appears on all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was in Vama Veche at an end-of-season party, towards the end of September. From word to word we arrive at sarmales and from there to local food and from there to sarmales with rapane made by a lady from May 2. The truth is that rapana lends itself to two types of dishes: fast or cooked slowly, otherwise it becomes gummy and impossible to chew. Unfortunately, I had no way to research the story in more detail and as there is still a lot until the summer, I am asking for your help here. If you know more special recipes for sarmales, especially sarmales with a local Constanta specialty - those with rapane are a perfect example - please let me know on <a href=\"mailto:cosmin.dragomir@gastroart.ro\">cosmin.dragomir@gastroart.ro<\/a>. I am curious if there are sarmales with fish from the Black Sea, with mussels, with seaweed, but also variations with mutton, for example, from mainland Dobrogea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Text written for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revistatomis.ro\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.revistatomis.ro\/\">Tomis magazine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo credit: Photo&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/europe-spain-mollusk-rapane-ice-market-barcelona-europe-spain-mollusk-rapane-ice-market-image110083153\">110083153<\/a>&nbsp;\u00a9&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/mila103_info\">Lyudmila Habrus<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/stock-photos\">Dreamstime.com<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of you may know that I have been collecting information for a universal encyclopedia of sarmals for several years now.
