Ross il-forn

Baked rice is a traditional casserole prepared with a combination of rice and a flavorful sauce that consists of minced meat, tomato sauce, and various spices. Other additions commonly include cheese (which can be incorporated into the dish or sprinkled on top), eggs, vegetables, and occasionally bacon or even offal. Since it is a common, everyday dish, ross il forn comes in numerous varieties, and every Maltese restaurant and family prepares their favorite version. The dish is best served warm, usually with a salad on the side.
