Hobz or Ftira biz-zejt u l-Kunserva

Hobz biz-zejt u l-kunserva

Now that we’ve mastered the Maltese Bread and Ftira, we can work on the filling!!  In Malta, our most favourite way to have the bread is with kunserva.   Hobz biz zejt u l-kunserva…nothing like it.  So that’s bread with tomato paste and olive oil.

Of course you can also go all gourmet and add anything that you like…maltese sausage, gbejniet,  which is a type of maltese cheese, canned tuna fish, chopped up onion, cannelini beans, pickled veggies, capers, olives…the list is endless…make up your own combination of your favourite things.  Parsley or Basil, some olive oil, salt and pepper and oh it’s just heaven on earth!
