To prepare delicious sarmale, we start with a careful selection of ingredients. The first step is to clean the onion. Choose a large onion, then chop it finely. In a large skillet, add oil and sauté the onion over medium heat until it becomes glassy and reveals its unmistakable aroma. While the onion is sautéing, cut the kaizer and bacon into small cubes, which you add to the skillet. These ingredients will provide a rich flavor to the sarmale. Separately, prepare the meat by cutting it into appropriately sized cubes so that it cooks evenly. The bulgur, which is an essential ingredient, must be washed well in several waters until the water remains clear. Once all the ingredients are prepared, add the meat and bulgur to the skillet with the onion and meat. Pour in a glass of water and let the mixture simmer on low heat, stirring constantly to avoid sticking. After the water has reduced, add the spices. Sprinkle thyme and finely chopped dill, as well as sarmale seasoning, being careful to adjust the amount of salt, as the bulgur has a sweeter taste. Now, let's take care of the cabbage. Wash it well, remove the core, and blanch it in a pot of boiling water until it becomes soft but does not fall apart. Once all the ingredients are ready, start rolling the sarmale. In a large pot, add a few cabbage leaves at the bottom, sprinkling thyme and dill to flavor the sarmale. Place a first layer of sarmale, followed by a layer of cut bacon, then another layer of sarmale. Cover everything with finely chopped cabbage leaves to create a flavorful lid. To finish the dish, add the tomato paste or tomato juice, filling the pot with warm water until the sarmale are completely covered. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer on low heat so that the flavors combine. After a few hours, the sarmale are ready to be enjoyed. They are served hot, alongside a generous amount of sour cream, which will add a creamy and delicious touch. This traditional dish will surely bring joy to your table, being perfect for any occasion.
