Maltese Sausage Pinwheels
Preheat the oven to 200°C to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time you are ready to bake. Begin by preparing your dough on a clean, flat surface. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the entire surface of the dough with the beaten egg. This will help to create a golden, glossy finish when baked.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with the Maltese sausage, making sure to remove the casing from the sausage beforehand. Add the sundried tomatoes to the mixture, stirring well to evenly distribute the ingredients. This combination will provide a rich, savory filling with a hint of tanginess from the sundried tomatoes.
Once the filling is prepared, spread it evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling. Sprinkle the chili flakes over the top of the filling to add a touch of heat and enhance the overall flavor.
Next, evenly scatter the shredded mozzarella cheese over the filling. The cheese will melt during baking, creating a deliciously gooey and flavorful layer.
Carefully roll the dough up from the bottom, keeping it tight to ensure that the filling remains inside. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the roll into equal portions, each about 1 to 2 inches thick. This will ensure that the pieces bake evenly.
Place the portions on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat. Transfer the sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the rolls are nicely browned and cooked through. The aroma of baking cheese and sausage will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait for them to be done.
Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious, savory rolls as an appetizer, snack, or even a main dish.

Maltese Sausage Ciabatta
Add half of your chopped onions to a pre-heated pan with a drizzle of olive oil on medium heat. Mix continuously until the onions are caramelized. Add rosemary and thyme to the onions, along with roughly 1 cup of beer. Mix until the beer evaporates.
For the sauce, lightly fry some onions and garlic in a pan. When the onions are translucent, add two handfuls of chopped mushrooms and cook over medium heat. Add a quarter cup of Worcestershire sauce and simmer until reduced. Add half a cup of cream, simmer for two minutes, and set the sauce aside.
Cook your Maltese sausage in a pan until golden brown.
For sandwich preparation and assembly, lightly toast your ciabatta. Generously spread both sides with garlic butter. Add your rucola as a base and place some sauce on top. Add your Maltese sausage to the ciabatta, along with a layer of your preferred cheese on top. Finish off with some more of that delicious sauce and enjoy!

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and red pepper, and cook for a few minutes. Add the Maltese sausage, and once it is slightly cooked, add the tomatoes, tomato puree, and seasonings. Mix well, then add the water. Cover and let it simmer for a few minutes. Feel free to add more water if it becomes too dry.
Once the sauce has reduced, make two wells and crack in the eggs. Let them cook in the sauce until the whites have set. Finish off with feta and coriander, and dig in with some toasted sourdough bread. Enjoy!

Maltese Sausage and Pistachio Pesto Ravioli
In a food processor, combine the pistachios, basil, mint, and garlic. Pulse until the mixture is chunky. Gradually add the olive oil while processing until the pesto is smooth. Stir in the grated cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions. Reserve ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
In a pan, heat a bit of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened. Add the sausage meat, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Add the cooked ravioli to the pan along with the pistachio pesto. Toss to combine, adding the reserved ravioli water a little at a time to create a creamy sauce.
Serve immediately, topped with extra grated cheese. Enjoy your flavorful Maltese Sausage and Pistachio Pesto Ravioli!
