Salmon fillet with almond sauce

Salmon is known for its delicate, pink color and soft yet firm texture, making it a popular choice for many people who value healthy and delicious meals.

The first step in the salmon preparation process is choosing the best fish. Our restaurant works with trusted suppliers who provide high quality salmon that has been farmed to strict standards

The salmon is seasoned abundantly with a mixture of fresh herbs, garlic, olive oil and salt. This aromatic mixture penetrates deep into the fish, adding depth of flavor and leaving it with a perfect balance of spices. While the salmon is marinating, prepare the mashed potato garnish. Potatoes are peeled, quartered and boiled until soft, then mashed into a smooth puree with milk, butter and spices.

While the salmon is marinating and the potatoes are cooking, prepare the almond sauce. The sauce is made by sautéing chopped garlic cloves in butter, followed by the addition of ground almonds, chicken stock and fresh herbs. The sauce is reduced until it reaches a creamy consistency while retaining the distinctive almond flavor.

The salmon is grilled until golden on the outside and pink and juicy on the inside. The almond sauce is further reduced until thickened, then served over the salmon.

Lamb is a favorite dish in many cultures, known for its delicate, pink color and distinctive flavor. At the Piccante restaurant in the city of Pazardzhik, we offer lamb steaks, turning them into a culinary pleasure that you must try.

Choosing the best meat is important for delicious lamb steaks. At Restaurant Piccante we work with trusted suppliers who provide high quality lamb that has been reared under strict animal welfare standards.

The steaks are then seasoned liberally with a mixture of fresh herbs, garlic, olive oil and salt. This aromatic blend penetrates deep into the meat, adding depth of flavor and leaving the steaks with a perfect balance of spices.

While the steaks are marinating, prepare the green salad garnish. The salad consists of a mix of fresh lettuce, spinach, arugula and chicory leaves that are gently tossed with a dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and mustard. This refreshing mix of vegetables is not only delicious but also provides a good amount of vitamins and minerals.

Once the steaks are ready, they are grilled on our special stone plate, which gives them a unique, smoky flavor and a perfect level of doneness. Lamb is known for its tenderness and quick cooking time, meaning steaks only need a few minutes to reach perfection.

Once the steaks are ready, they are allowed to rest briefly before being served on a bed of aromatic wild arugula.

Risotto with porcini mushrooms

Blogger PIccante * January 12, 2024

Risotto with porcini mushrooms

Risotto is an Italian dish that originated in the northern region of Lombardy, but is now widespread throughout the country and around the world. The main ingredient of risotto is rice, usually the Arborio variety, which absorbs the broth and cooks to a creamy consistency. At the Piccante restaurant in the city of Pazardzhik, we have perfected our mushroom risotto offering, turning it into a must-try culinary delight.

The process begins with the selection of ingredients. Mushrooms are known for their rich, earthy flavor and soft texture, making them an ideal choice for this luxurious dish.

One of the most important ingredients is broth. The restaurant uses a combination of beef and vegetable stock, which is simmered long enough to provide depth of flavor. Stock is an essential component of risotto, as it provides the moisture and flavor that help the rice achieve its perfect creamy texture.

The rice itself, the Arborio variety, is thoroughly washed to remove excess starch before being steamed in melted butter. This process helps the rice keep its shape while cooking and contributes to the creamy texture of the final dish. The rice is then cooked slowly, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

While the rice is cooking, the mushrooms are cleaned and cut into thin slices. They are fried separately in oil, which allows them to retain their shape and develop a golden brown color and nutty flavor. The mushrooms are then added to the almost finished risotto, where they are mixed with the rice and broth.

To finish off the risotto, add grated parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil leaves. The Parmesan cheese adds a hint of salty tang that balances the earthiness of the mushrooms, while the basil adds a fresh note that brings all the flavors together.

Risotto with mushrooms at Piccante restaurant in Pazardzhik is a masterpiece of simplicity and elegance. Its rich, earthy flavors and creamy texture make it a dish that’s both filling and satisfying. Whether you enjoy risotto as an appetizer or as a main course, it is sure to leave a lasting impression and leave you craving for more.

Visit Piccante Restaurant today and immerse yourself in a culinary adventure. You will find that mushroom risotto is not just a dish. It is an experience that will make you appreciate the beauty and complexity of Italian cuisine.

Italian pizza in Pazardzhik

In the heart of Pazardzhik, where tradition meets innovation, is Piccante restaurant. This is a place that offers authentic Italian cuisine that will transport you directly to the sunny streets of Italy. However, one dish stands tall above all others – their pizza.

Our master chef is well trained in the Italian art of making the perfect pizza to perfection. He uses only the freshest ingredients to ensure that every bite is bursting with flavor. From the juicy homemade dough to the aromatic tomato sauce, every ingredient is carefully selected to create a symphony of flavors in every bite.

One of the things that sets Piccante pizzas apart is their dough. We use a special combination of flour, yeast, salt and water to create a soft, light and easy to chew dough. We let it rise slowly, allowing it to develop a depth of flavor, before rolling it into thin rounds. This process gives our pizza the perfect combination of crispness on the outside and softness on the inside.

The sauce on our pizza is another star of the show. Made with ripe tomatoes, basil, garlic and oregano, it is the perfect balance between all the ingredients. We add finely ground sea salt and black pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients. The result is a smooth, flavorful sauce that envelops every bite in rich, intense flavor.

We believe in simplicity. We only use high quality products such as fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, pepperoni and olives. Each piece of meat is thinly sliced so that it can melt evenly over the cheese during baking. Green spices add a touch of freshness to every bite, while olives provide a salty counterpoint.

We bake our pizzas in a special oven that reaches temperatures above 500 degrees. This high temperature gives the rind a perfect bubble and makes the cheese golden and stretchy. The pizza comes out of the oven hot and ready for immediate enjoyment.

We offer a variety of classic Italian pizzas as well as some unique creations inspired by our own experience. Whether you prefer Neapolitan, Pepperoni or Margherita, we are confident that you will find your favorite pizza among our menu.

But what really sets Piccante Restaurant apart is not just our pizzas, but our entire dining experience.
