Curried Sandwiches II

Had an egg, had some curry, so I finally made some curried sandwiches last night.

Maltese Cheese Pie (Torta tal-Rikotta)


I decided to make a traditional Maltese dish the other night, Maltese Cheese Pie. Delicious with a small salad or by itself.

Ingredients:

600 gms  ricotta cheese.
2 sheets puff pastry
1/3 cup chopped parsley
3 eggs beaten.

Method

Add most of   the 3 beaten eggs and the parsley  to the cheese  but save about a teaspoon of the eggs for latter. Mix all together. Season with salt and lots of pepper.  Place a sheet of pastry  in a greased pie dish to form the bottom. Fill with the cheese mixture. Cover the top with the second pastry sheet. Fold over the edges and close with a fork.  Paint the pie with the remaining beaten eggs so it will brown. Cut a few vents in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake at 180C  for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Easy Tiramisu

David has been out of action recently due to back problems so I hope he gets better soon. Here is his lastest recipe . My only concern is the raw eggs,. I hope to find an eggless version.
