Pasta e Fagioli con Salsiccia Maltese
A classic bean & pasta dish with tasty Maltese sausage.
Cherry Tomato Confit
Easy to make delicious tomato confit which goes perfectly with bread, pasta or just a condiment. Here I’m making an easy bruschetta using Gozo cheese, prosciutto crudo & toasted Maltese bread.
Broccoli & Peppered Ġbejna Soup
Inspired by tons of cheesy broccoli soups out there, why not use a local queen of Maltese cheeses? The tanginess of the peppered cheese compliments the delicate broccoli very well.
Lettuce Soup ( soppa tal-ħass)
At first, I was skeptical about this recipe. I tried this out after I had some extra lettuce in the fridge and the result was surprisingly good! For a vegan alternative just use plant-based butter & cream.
Minestra
Minestra is a Maltese traditional vegetable soup very similar to the Italian Minestrone. Rich with beans and mixed pulses hearty soup is very healthy. Also very easy to make, you can simply throw everything in a pot, add water, and simmer. I prefer to lightly fry the onion, carrots, and celery first to give it more flavour. Nonetheless, the result is always guaranteed! You can also add some small pasta in the end.
Creamy Leek and Lentil Soup
When it's cold outside, nothing warms you more than a hearty soup. This is a simple yet tasty leek and lentil soup, thickened with potatoes and spiced up with cumin and coriander with a zing of ginger. Ideal for vegans, just use plant-based butter instead.
Maltese Sausage and Beer Gumbo
This is Ch-Eat's 'Maltese' take on this delicious Louisianan dish. The secret of this delicious dish is the roux we make as a base. This is one of those stews that the more you cook it, the better it gets. It's even more delicious if you reheat it the day after.
Peanut Butter Pesto
A different twist to a classic basil pesto.
Can be served as pasta sauce or as a dip with lots of Maltese galletti!
Brodu tat-Tiġieġa (Chicken Broth)
This is a Maltese classic. Nothing warms the heart like Maltese brodu tat-tiġieġa! Whether it's a cold evening, a family lunch or you're sick in bed, this simple tasty broth will make you feel better!
