What can I say, my husbands sister teaches me all these Turkish yummy food! Sarma is a very special type of food with a very exotic taste. Especiallt with the peppermint + leaves it is kind of sweet-fresh-bitter taste expreience. They can be eaten warm or cold. I prefer cold togheter with a salad buffet and grilled food.
Ingredients
½ yellow onion
1 oblong green bell pepper (strong is optional)
2 pcs of pressed garlic
2 pinches of salt
2 large tomatoes
pinch of pepper mint spice
2 1 mil mesuring spoon of Saltca (red bell pepper paste, Sera)
1 lemon
Olive oil
2 dl of Parsley
1 package of vine leaves or swiss chards
rice
Wash, chop and peel neatly onion, bell pepper, parsley and add garlic + salt in a bowl. Split the tomatoes in halves and rive them with a shredder, leave out the tomatoe skin. Wash rice properly with a sieve and put in the bowl. Add spices, a little oil and add ½ of the lemon. Mix everything togheter.
Wash and cut the stem off the leaves. pour boiling water over them so they soften a bit, careful not to ruin them. Fold out the leaves flat on a flat surface, the underside of the leaves should be up and the "smooth" side down. Add a little rice mixture to each leave. The filling should be in the middle with the sides free.
Roll the leave 1,5 rotation so you have folded over the rice filling. Fold in the right and left side then continue rolling and then your roll is ready. This way it prevents them from opening. Put all the leave rolls in the bottom of your pot. Press the rest of the ½ of the lemon.
Put an upside down plate over the rolls, and put a bowl on top of the plate filled with water. Cover the rolls with water. Boil on low heat with lid for 20-30 min.
