TORTA TAL QARA AHMAR – Nanna’s Maltese Pumpkin and Rice Pie

Being with my Maltese girl (now my wife) for over 10 years I have been exposed to quite a bit of Maltese Cuisine. And although I tease my wife telling her that Maltese food is just a cheap imitation of Sicilian food, they do have their own unique dishes. Torta Tal Qara Ahmar (silent Q) is my favourite Maltese dish!

My wife’s Nanna (pronounced Nah-Nah, it’s Maltese for Grandmother) cooks this pie mainly during lent or when uncle Joe decides to grow an abundance of pumpkin and off load it to his mum.
