A taste of Malta | Handmade Ravjul

Details:

The traditional Maltese ravjul holds a special place in the hearts of the Maltese people. This workshop, Vegetarian friendly, aims to create a modern and refined version of your grandmother’s ravioli while not veering too far from the traditional recipe. Our team of chef instructors will guide you through the process of making fresh Maltese-style pasta dough and shaping it into perfect ravjul. These will be filled with a farce made from locally sourced gbejna and irkotta, finished with a refined tomato sauce using quality local produce—all of which come together to produce a delicious dish that evokes nostalgic memories of lunch at Nanna’s. In addition to the hands-on cooking session, we’ll present and discuss the rich heritage of Maltese gastronomy, sharing insights into the traditions and unique flavors that define Maltese cuisine. Each participant will also receive a local platter, giving you a taste of Malta’s diverse culinary offerings.
