This Maltese baked rice recipe (Ross il-forn) is inspired by my mum’s multicultural cookbook, but I’ve given it my own twist — more flavour, better texture, and no parboiling! If you love easy family meals, this oven-baked rice with meat and tomatoes is one you’ll want to make again and again.

I adjusted the rice-to-meat ratio, added more spices, and changed the method — no parboiling here! Instead, the rice goes in raw, soaking up all those beautiful flavours as it bakes to golden perfection. The result? A hearty, rich, and comforting dish that’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing family meal.

My mum and dad loved it so much they asked me to make a video so they could recreate it at home — and now I’m sharing it with you, step by step.

If you love easy, budget-friendly, homestyle cooking, this one’s definitely worth trying.

Enjoy! ❤️
