We’ve seen stuffed peppers before but this is a new recipe I tried. It’s a different kind of stuffed pepper in that it’s not stuffed with rice and mince. This time the peppers are stuffed with anchovies and breadcrumbs. Instead of the anchovies being overpowering (not that I would mind anyhow), the taste is subtle.

Stuffed white cabbage with a Maltese tomato piquant sauce

Maltese savoury cake
This Maltese savoury cake was a first for me. This recipe has come from my distant cousin who currently lives in London. It was an old recipe he got from his dad (my mum’s cousin) who he had from his mum (my mum’s aunty). A great new Maltese recipe which I will be making more often. This savoury cake is made from mince, onion, garlic, potatoes, marrows, aubergine, eggs and tomato paste. Next time I will also add some roast peppers. A delicious comforting meal. …
