Sinjski Arambaši

Arambaši is Croatian stuffed cabbage. The cultural significance of this wonderful Croatian dish is undeniable. This famous dish from Sinj is on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list, making this a must-try food when visiting the Dalmatian hinterland.

Sinjski arambaši originated in Turkey, but like so many other Croatian dishes, it has evolved into its own variety over time. Basically a Croatian version of sarma, it resembles its culinary ancestor only slightly. These mouthwatering cabbage rolls are filled with chopped beef and pork, smoked bacon, parsley, red onions, garlic, cloves, cinnamon, and a touch of nutmeg and boiled in water for a couple of hours.
