We're going to bask in the Mediterranean sun this week as we visit the island nation of Malta.Malta's rich history spans 7,000 years, from the Neolithic Maltese Islanders through, among other conquerers and patrons, the Carthaginians, Normans, Knights of St. John, French and English until finally gaining independence in 1964.
A three-island archipelago situated about 60 miles south of Sicily and 180 miles north of Africa, Malta - like many countries - boasts cuisine that's heavily based on seasonal ingredients and an eclectic blend of indigenous and colonial influences. Malta is the largest island, followed in size by Gozo and Comino. About 400,000 people call this tiny country home.
There are so many fresh flavors in the recipes I've been researching, perfect for light summer meals. Hopefully, I can narrow down my options to two or three awesome dinners. Stay tuned, folks!
