HOBZ BIZ ZEJT - MALTESE OPEN-FACE SANDWICH

The idea comes from a Maltese ex-pat's blog. Part of what makes this sandwich so special is Hobz, authentic Maltese bread. But since it is a kind of sourdough bread, that will have to do in North America and maybe other places, too. Explore your local bakeries and see what kind of hearty bread with large holes and a crisp crust...

Steps:

  • 1. Drizzle oil on one side of bread. Smear tomato paste to cover.
  • 2. Distribute all other ingredients on the bread. Eliminate any ingredient that you don't have entirely or add more, to taste.
  • 3. Sprinkle with dried oregano and/or mint and parsley.

1 slice hearty sour-dough bread (unless maltese bread is available)
1 tsp olive oil
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp capers, drained
2 or 3 red onion rings, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp ricotta, sour cream or thick yogurt
2 green olives, sliced
1 oz tuna, flaked
1 Tbsp bigilla (maltese broad bean dip)
1/4 tsp dried oregano, mint or parsley

MALTESE BREAD WITH TOMATOES (HOBZ BIZ-ZEJT)

The national dish of Malta. Tasty, easy to make, ideal for picnics or days by the sea. The primary ingredients are bread, tomatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper. The other ingredients vary widely, although capers and olives are almost universally included. If using fresh tomatoes, make sure they are soft and juicy rather than firm to the touch. This simple dish is popular as a take-out meal but is also served as an appetizer in most restaurants, and as a bar snack in village pubs. In the latter cases the bread is often toasted, a bit like bruschetta. You can make anything from a single portion to a large-family size meal to a large event. Exclude tuna for a vegetarian/vegan version.
