You can eat them by themselves. Serve them with a salad or some fries. Eat them in between bread, like a burger. Just eat them as you wish, the most important part is that you savor the deliciousness & enjoy them!

This time round I cooked up the Pulpetti tal-Laħam. Most simple translation or other way of describing them would be Beef Patties. They’re juicy & packed full of flavor.

As for the cooking method, the most common one would be to fry them. But my personal favorite is cook them in the oven. It’s simpler & it depends on your preference. With this recipe I have chose to cook them in the oven but do check in as I have in mind to also provide a different Pulpetti recipe that involves frying them.

For Pulpetti tal-Laħam there are people who choose to use pork, beef or a mixture of both. In this recipe we will be using beef & pork sausage meat.
