Maltese cuisine is peasant cuisine, using vegetables in season, homemade cheeses, and cheaper cuts of meat. These are cooked slowly with fresh tomatoes, parsley and garlic to create tender stews with lots of flavour.
The most common pastizzi are made with ricotta, but there are also two other varieties: one made with peas and onions and the other with anchovies. Your holiday in Malta won’t be complete if you don’t try at least one out! Put the flour in a mixing bowl, add enough water to make a stiff dough. Beat (in electric mixer) on medium speed until smooth.
Start the party with this punchy broad bean dip laced with garlic and chilli, a popular Maltese snack that’s a cinch to make. Pears baked with white wine, almonds and armaretto. An easy dessert that’s best suited to ripe, in-season pears. The white wine and amaretto add a level of luxury to this grown-up dessert.
Pastizzi is probably the most popular snack on the entire island. The traditional ricotta cheesecake is sold for a really cheap price in all the Pastizzerias across Malta and Gozo and is always warm as the high demand requires to bake them continuously during the day.
