A step-by-step guide for a Sensational Gourmet Maltese Barbecue
BBQ season is finally here! So, we’ve compiled a list of 7 Maltese BBQ essentials to give your outdoor cookout a gourmet twist without losing the scrumptiously traditional Maltese touch. Let use guide you through a proper gourmet barbecue – the Maltese way!
Appetizers
First order of business: Appetizers.
A truly Maltese barbecue is characterised by just 1 simple factor – FOOD! From beginning till the very end, our barbecues are a simply a festival of flavours. J&M Butcher’s Gourmet Barbecue has made sure you can kick it all off in the best way possible. Here are 2 of our favourite picks!
1. Cipollata
Start strong. Give your guests a taste of what food quality they can expect for the remainder of the night. A Cipollata is the perfect way to do just that. Spring onions wrapped with pork belly – simple, yet delicious.
2. Lamb Koftas
Our in-house made Lamb Koftas are a Middle Eastern dish that will surely get guests raving about your newly acquired gourmet cooking skills. How could it not? Minced lamb on a stick flavoured with garlic, cumin, coriander, parsley, mint, pepper, and mustard – I’ll be surprised if there’ll be any left for you.
Sausages
Once the appetizers have been eaten everyone will start looking for sausages (the main reason most of us go to BBQs in the first place). Sausages of any kind, form and shape grace our table tops – it’s not a proper barbecue without them. For this reason, at J&M Butcher, we’ve prepared a selection of sausages made in-house by our expert chefs using nothing but genuine, top-notch ingredients. Have a look for yourself!
1. Truffle and Pistachio Pork Sausages
A Maltese BBQ without pork sausages? Never heard of that. Well, at J&M Butcher, we’ve added a new gourmet twist to an all-time classic. Say hello to your new cook-out staple: Truffle and Pistachio Pork Sausages. These truffle flavoured pork sausages with nibbed pistachios are an absolute must. One bite and we guarantee that you and your guests will immediately find your next BBQ obsession.
2. Lamb Sausages
And finally, Lamb Sausages! Lamb and sausages are not the first combination that comes to mind. But let’s be honest, it’s not a Maltese barbecue if you don’t eat your body weight in sausages before the main course is even ready. Especially when they’re as delectable as the ones prepared in-house by our expert chefs at J&M Butcher.
And now you know your nanna will be mad because no one will eat the 3 watermelons she brought for dessert. And that’s okay because eating these finger-licking lamb sausages will surely be worth hearing your nanna say “u ajma ħudu biċċa” over and over.
Burgers
Burgers, another must – they’re not just for little kids, you know. No matter how old you are, the sight of a sizzling juicy burger will get you drooling instantly. Many even opt to have one as their first plate!
