Preparation of soparnik in the restaurant Kaštil Slanica
From the 12th to the 14th century a safe haven for the pirates of Omiš, from the 14th century a salt trading station, and today a cultural monument from the 16th century and a restaurant. All this is Kaštil Slanica. Located in the heart of the Cetina canyon, the beautiful river, the white stone and the Island of Love, Kaštil Slanica bases its cuisine on dishes from the canyon, from the sea and the rocks of Omiš. Soparnik is a dish traditionally linked to the Poljička Republic. Eventually, it was transmitted to the hinterland of Omiš. Today, it is listed as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage, and its preparation is a real culinary feast. Most often, it is prepared before church holidays. Although simple in ingredients, now in some places they add nuts, suvica, and other ingredients. The soparnik that we prepare in our restaurant is close to the original, has a salty taste, and the very best red wine from the Omiš vineyards should accompany it.
The cooking workshop for the preparation of steamers takes place in the original conditions, on the chimney with the crackling of the fire and the smell of smoke; the mentorship of the hostess will also convey to each guest those small secret preparations, the result of which remains in the memory
