Christmas Eve is a special occasion when families come together to celebrate the start of the Christmas season. The traditional Bulgarian Christmas Eve meal includes an odd number of lean dishes that symbolize abundance and gratitude. At the Piccante restaurant in the city of Pazardzhik, we have prepared a special menu for Christmas Eve, which includes a variety of delicious and nutritious dishes that reflect the spirit of the holiday.
Our Christmas Eve menu starts with a cold starter called ‘Winter’s Tale’ which is a beautifully arranged selection of pickled vegetables, pickles, pickles and sunflower seeds. This colorful and aromatic concoction is not only delicious, but also visually appealing, creating a festive mood even before the main meal begins.
Then comes the turn of the traditional Christmas Eve dish: lean sarmi with sauerkraut and tomato juice. These sarmas are filled with an aromatic mixture of rice, leeks and herbs wrapped in sauerkraut leaves. They are cooked slowly over low heat, allowing the flavors to develop and blend in a harmonious combination. Sarms are not only delicious, but also a symbol of health and luck.
Our lean stuffed peppers are stuffed with a mix of rice, mushrooms, carrots and herbs, then baked to perfection. Stuffed peppers are not only delicious, but also easy to share, making them an ideal choice for gatherings of family and friends.
For dessert, we choose the traditional baked pumpkin with honey and walnuts. This classic recipe features a whole pumpkin filled with a mix of honey, walnuts, raisins and cinnamon. Bake until the pumpkin softens and absorbs the flavors of the filling. The result is sweet and aromatic desserts.
The entire Christmas Eve menu at the Piccante restaurant in Pazardzhik is a celebration of traditional Bulgarian flavors, presented with a modern and innovative approach. Our lean meals are not only delicious, but also full of meaning, reflecting the spirit of the holiday and bringing joy to all who share them.
Don’t cook, order today and enjoy an unforgettable culinary journey that will make your Christmas Eve truly special.
