Sarmale - Romania

Cuts of pork are rolled in cabbage leaves, then slow-cooked in tomatoes and dill in this traditional Romanian recipe. Sarmale are eaten to celebrate a few occasions in Romania, but especially Christmas and New Year's. Because they take a few hours to finish cooking, many people make them ahead of time and reheat them—some actually prefer them reheated because the flavors are richer. The choice is yours.
