Key ingredients
Pickled cabbage leaves or vine leaves, ground beef (or mixed), onions, garlic, spices (paprika, black pepper), tomato paste, cooking fat (e.g., lard or oil), broth, cauliflower rice (for modification).

Say this to the waiter (Bosnian)
Japrak Dolma, molim vas, bez riže u punjenju. Može li riža od karfiola ili da je izostavite? Je li sos bez šećera?
Japrak Dolma, please, without rice in the filling. Can you use cauliflower rice or omit it? Is the sauce sugar-free?
Watch out for
