Va-Va Sarma Posna Vegan Cabbage Rolls, Macedonian Style 980g (2.2lb)

Va-Va Sarma Posna Vegan Cabbage Rolls are a jar of plant-based stuffed cabbage rolls in tomato sauce from Va-Va Premium Foods — a Macedonian preserved-food brand — in the posna sarma format: the Macedonian and Balkan vegan version of the stuffed-cabbage-roll tradition, made with a rice and vegetable filling wrapped in sour cabbage leaves and preserved in tomato sauce, the preparation specifically associated with the Orthodox Christian fasting calendar. Va-Va Premium Foods is a Macedonian food brand producing traditional Macedonian preserved foods including the full range of pickled vegetables, ajvar, and the prepared-dish range, and the posna sarma represents the brand's take on the important religious-fasting food tradition in the Orthodox Christian Macedonian calendar, where meat-free preparations of traditional recipes provide the comfort of familiar food within fasting restrictions. Sarma in the Balkan tradition exists in two versions: the meat version with ground pork or beef, and the posna (fasting) version with rice and vegetables, the latter specifically important during Lent, the Advent fast, and on the Orthodox Christian fasting days that punctuate the Macedonian calendar, when traditional dishes are prepared without meat but without sacrificing the warmth of familiar cooking. Warm directly from the jar, serve with a generous spoonful of sour cream alongside bread as the traditional Macedonian presentation, heat and present alongside other posna dishes during the fasting period as the plant-based comfort food that satisfies without meat, or enjoy as a convenient ready-to-eat prepared Macedonian dish.
