Figolli Crust Cheesecake
The idea for this cheesecake came when I had a couple of figolli which didn’t turn out so nice. So I created a baked almond flavoured cheesecake with a golden figolla crust. Just a different way to enjoy figolli.
Air Fried Potato & Mozzarella Croquettes
Crispy potato croquettes with a soft mozzarella centre.
Naan Bread Gozitan Pizza
Naan bread is not only for dipping in sauces or curries. It is so flexible. Here we are combining it with local flavours creating a very tasty Gozitan style pizza.
Kwarezimal
A popular Maltese biscuit consumed mainly during Lent and its name comes from the Latin word ‘quaresima’ which refers to the 40 days of Lent. As per tradition, it’s also made without using any dairy or fats.
Wholemeal Olive Bread
March 20th is World’s Flour Day. Nothing smells nicer than a freshly baked olive loaf. You can use any kind of flour but for this recipe, we are using wholemeal. So easy to make! No kneading is required.
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.
Chicken and Mushroom Pie
Pies are so easy to prepare and make a complete easy meal. This creamy chicken pie will only take you 10 minutes to prepare with a perfect result every time.
Deep Pan Pizza Maltija
A crispy deep pan pizza with a soft centre topped with typical Maltese toppings and finished off with fresh Gozo cheeselets.
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.
Brie-Gilla
This quick and easy recipe might be the ideal appetizer for your Valentine's Dinner. Creamy Brie enclosed in a puff pastry crust and flavoured with walnuts, cranberries and Maltese bigilla. Best served with galletti or grissini and your favourite glass of wine.
