Maltese Bread With Tomatoes Hobz Biz Zejt Recipes

MALTESE BREAD WITH TOMATOES (HOBZ BIZ-ZEJT)

Maltese Bread With Tomatoes (Hobz Biz-Zejt) image

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.

Ingredients

1 loaf crusty bread (the best kind is farmhouse style bread with a decent crust rather than soft, sponge-like fanc bread)
olive oil
6 juicy tomatoes (or 1 can thick tomato paste)
salt
pepper
pickled capers
sliced ripe olives
1 (200 g) can tuna (optional)
chopped fresh green pepper (optional)
cheese (eg. cheddar, edam) (optional)
pickled onion (optional)

Steps:

Pour the olive oil into a plate.
Slice the bread, then dip one side of each slice into the oil. Squeeze out the excess.

HOBZ BIZ ZEJT - MALTESE OPEN-FACE SANDWICH

Hobz Biz Zejt - Maltese Open-face Sandwich image

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...
