Authentic Maltese Simmered Fish Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: fish, garlic, stock, water, turmeric, yogurt, lemon juice.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until simmered.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Maltese flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Maltese accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
