Maltese Baked Rice – A Delicious Comfort Food Classic

👉 Learn how to make Maltese Baked Rice — a delicious comfort food classic that’s rich, saucy, and perfect for family dinners. 👉 Full Recipe Here: https://leescooking.com/baked-rice/ This Maltese baked rice recipe (Ross il-forn) is inspired by my mum’s multicultural cookbook, but I’ve given it my own twist — more flavour, better texture, and no parboiling! If you love easy family meals, this oven-baked rice with meat and tomatoes is one you’ll want to make again and again. I adjusted the rice-to-meat ratio, added more spices, and changed the method — no parboiling here! Instead, the rice goes in raw, soaking up all those beautiful flavours as it bakes to golden perfection. The result? A hearty, rich, and comforting dish that’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing family meal. My mum and dad loved it so much they asked me to make a video so they could recreate it at home — and now I’m sharing it with you, step by step. If you love easy, budget-friendly, homestyle cooking, this one’s definitely worth trying.
