You have more patience than I. Another sarma possibility: cherry leaves. A specialty of Malatya in SE Turkey. Bulgur (fine) filling, served swimming in tomato-y yogurt sauce.
Oh, that sounds delicious! The flavor that cherry leaves impart to leaf-wrapped sakura mochi is so lovely. Are the finished sarma tiny? Most of the cherry leaves I see here are smaller than my palm.
You can always have the leaves on our grapevines in the back. Just say the word. I had no idea you could do anything with them. Neat! Our grapevines are for show, so we might as well get something useful out of them.

So, so tiny. But delicious. Cherry leaves are also used as a base for some baked goods eg. corn flour biscuits.
