Yup, I had sarma for dinner tonight. It's been a while since the last time I had some, but Mrs.Coturnix fixed it today, inventing her own recipe along the way. It was delicious!

Mrs.Coturnix and I arrived nicely in NYC last night and had a nice dinner at Heartland Brewery. This morning, we had breakfast at the Hungarian Pastry Shop, where I ordered my pastry using a Serbian name for the cake, and the Albanian woman working in the Hungarian shop understood what I wanted! I…
Somehow I feel that I've been tagged by Janet for this meme, because it is public that we celebrate Hannukkah. But we really make it low-key, family-only, and have only been doing it for about a dozen years so far. Actually, this is the first time that we had guests for the first night.

Yesterday was Mrs.Coturnix' birthday. Over the weeks I led her on various goose chases regarding what kind of present she was going to get. In the end she had no idea, could not even guess. So, this was quite a surprise - I commissioned the mirror from Tanja (you have met her before here, here…
Or, to tell the traditional Passover joke:
A Jewish physicist in the UK was about to get knighted by the Queen. There was a long line of recepients waiting for the ceremony and they were all instructed what to say/chant once they come to face the Queen. The physicist kept silently practicing the…
Would you mind posting the sarma recipe?
Thanks!
Which one? Mrs.Coturnix's recipe, if remembered by now at all, is a state secret. The one on Wikipedia (in the link above) is decent. Googling 'sarma' brings several other decent recipes. Perhaps I can get my Mother's recipe, but that one will cost you a hill of money ;-)
Oh, like stuffed grape leaves.
Stuffed grape leaves are 'dolma', much smaller and to be eaten with sheep curd. Delicious, but not sarma.
Dammit, my ploy has failed! I know well-and-good that stuffed grape leaves are but a shadow. I am of humble Anglo-american stock. No proper Mediterranean or Eastern European blood in me (though, I have an honest claim to Moravia -- Nesrsta ancestors.) I have only once tasted сарма. Please, a real recipe? I do have a good pemmican recipe in answer, from my honest American ancestors. You have my email..
Ok quail boy. Good recipes can be revealed without divulging state secrets. What are the herbs the Wiki entry speaks of. Anyone can make a cabbage roll. The herbs are what make it regional.
A general, regional recipe would be much appreciated.
OK, the secret recipe has arrived from my Mother. It will take me some time to translate, but I should be able to post it tomorrow.
Awesome!
Thanks!!
sarma rules!
