鲜香醇厚的马耳他菜
周末又请了三家最好朋友过来聚一聚。 朋友们都知道我每次请客都煮不同国家的菜，打电话来问这次是哪国，“什么？Maltese? 那种可爱的小只狗狗？” 哈哈，不是狗啦，是马耳他菜！
马耳他是地中海一小岛，离意大利西西里最近。和西西里的一衣带水，使得马耳他美食传承了南意大利特色。

等不及老公回来，我自己把这只兔子从袋子里拿出来料理，小兔还双手合十，做祷告状！啊呀，差点把我给不忍心。。。不得已还要从它胸腔把心肝都拉出来，我都被严重truamatized。后来老公回来砍的，砍完说他要吃素。。不过晚上照吃兔子不误，早忘了吃素这件事。这次炖的很成功，肉好嫩好香。小朋友都爱小动物，但毫不影响吃兔子的兴致。
