Pastizzi (Curried Pea and Ricotta Stuffed Pastries)

Maltese Pastizzi are their signature golden pastries that are loved all over the country. They are a puff pastry that are stuffed with cheese or a curried pea mash. They are enjoyed at any time of day and found on nearly every corner. Some say pastizzi is one of those foods that simply says Malta. They are often enjoyed with friends and cup of coffee or tea. We loved this little golden nuggets. I especially loved the one made with the curried mashed split peas, however both were delicious. After all it’s hard to go wrong with puff pastry stuffed with just about anything. You can make them one or both ways it is your choice.
