• Sarma

  While many Americans think stuffed grape leaves are dolma, they are in fact called sarma - the term for any dish in which leaves are wrapped around a filling. Other leaves that are used include cabbage and collard greens. In many areas, the fine distinction is not made, and both dishes fall under the name "dolma".
