Foodie Friday: Typical Bosnian Dish

bosnian food

A couple of years ago I took a day trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina from Dubrovnik to check out the local culture, people, and food. After taking in the Mostar Bridge, a local mosque, and the Turkish House, I headed to the Old Bazaar to do a bit of shopping and some eating. I was pointed in the direction of a restaurant that served typical foods for the region, and decided to give that a shot.

I ordered what was basically a sampler plate of regional foods, including mashed potatoes with a sort of broth over them, peas, some kebab meat, sarma (meat and rice rolled in pickled cabbage leaves), and dolma (rice-stuffed grape leaves). I didn’t care at all for the sarma, and immediately gave it to my then-boyfriend, but everything else was pretty delicious. I love to try foods that are typical to different regions, and was happy to have picked this variety-packed dish.
