Klara's Traditional Croatian Stuffed Cabbage Recipe

This recipe for croatian stuffed cabbage or sarma is from klara cvitanovich. She is the owner with her husband and son, drago and tommy cvitanovich, of drago's seafood restaurant in new orleans and metairie, la. While eastern european foods are not on the menu at the family restaurant (see the recipe for drago's charbroiled oysters), klara still cooks the foods of her beloved dubrovnik, croatia, at home, especially for christmas. Traditional croatian apple strudel is also a classic addition. This recipe makes enough for a crowd, and since they taste even better the next day and the day after, you'll have tasty leftovers
