What is Burcu Sarma?

Burcu Sarma is a ready-to-eat Turkish-style dish of vine leaves wrapped around a rice filling with olive oil. Stuffed vine leaves are common across Turkey and the eastern Mediterranean, where they are often served chilled or at room temperature as part of a meze spread, or alongside a meal. The rice makes this mainly a carbohydrate-rich choice, while olive oil contributes most of its fat; it is relatively low in protein. Serve it with lemon and fresh salad, or add yogurt for a more filling plate. It is handy when you want a small, savory side without preparing sarma from scratch.
