PriMaria prepares Mish Mash
Stir fry dishes are popular in Bulgaria, especially in summer and fall, when fresh peppers are in abundance. Maria Duness-Rose of PriMaria restaurant takes advantage of the pepper harvest in this vegetarian specialty.
A Bulgarian standard!
"Peppers are used in nearly every dish in Bulgaria - in all varieties and manners, from dried to baked to peeled. … in the dish Mish Mash, peppers are baked, roasted and peeled. When the peel is removed, the pepper has a very sweet, mild flavor!" - Maria Duness-Rose
A taste of home
Maria Duness-Rose named her restaurant PriMaria, which in Bulgarian means: “At Maria's.” Many of the guests who visit are regulars who appreciate the personal atmosphere. Guests should feel both at home and a bit as though they are in Bulgaria. That's also why the only wines offered on the menu are Bulgarian.
From Sofia to Berlin
"I came to Berlin for the first time in 1991 and found the city quite beautiful and very open - a real metropolis. Berlin is quite wide, very light and green. And I met a very nice man here!" - Maria Duness-Rose
Simple preparations
Mish Mash is a popular dish in Bulgaria, and one that is easy to prepare. The name is an apt description, as the ingredients are mixed together in a large pan. At the very end, Bulgarian goat cheese is carefully folded in.
Authentic Balkan culture
The vegetarian dish is served with bread and a traditional schnapps liqueur. Although it's a relatively simple dish, consuming it in Bulgaria is writ large - one meal can take quite some time, explains Maria Duness-Rose. And at PriMaria, the food is so delicious, one may not want to leave - just like at a friend's home.
