Cafe57 Restaurant chef Péter Áldási recommendation!

Sous vide catfish

We salt the catfish fillets and wrap them in bacon. Then we cover the fillets by plastic wrap. We heat the shrink-wrapped pieces on 60° by sous vide method for 30 minutes. When serving, the catfish fillets are heated up in sous vide pool. Then we fry the bacon until they become crispy.

Paprika sauce

We boil the fish broth and favour it with paprika. We evaporate it by Beurre marnier – “kneaded butter” – and add sour cream to it. Then we add a little salt and the typically Hungarian hot “Erős Pista”.

Cottage cheese noodles

We fry the pasta dough in the fried bacon’s fat. Then we add cottage cheese and sour cream to it and favour it with pepper.
