Sarburma, also known simply as burma among Crimean Tatars and as Pierekaczewnik among Lipka Tatars, is a traditional meat pie in Crimean Tatar cuisine. In Crimean Tatar language sarmaq means "to wrap" and burmaq "to curl". Its name among Lipka Tatars come from the Russian verb перека́тывать “to roll up.” Nowadays, it is a widespread snack in Crimea, neighbouring regions of Ukraine, and in Turkey. In Poland it is a distinctive cuisine of the Lipka Tatars, and is protected by European Union regulations with a Protected Designation of Origin. The main ingredients are traditionally lamb and dough. The same are used in another very popular Crimean and Turkish dish, çibereks.
