Yaprak (food)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yaprak (Slavic: japrak) is a generic name for meals made of grape (especially Sultana grape) leaves (a kind of kale), stuffed with meat (pork or lamb) and rice, or more rarely rice only. Meals are called as Yaprak Sarma or Yaprak Dolma. The name comes from Turkish yaprak meaning "leaf".^[1] In Balkans brocole leaves are sometimes used instead of grape leaves.

It is mostly popular in Turkey but also known in the Balkans, especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where it may be served with mashed potatoes and yoghurt.
