Nutritional Tips
This is a traditional Maltese dish, 100% Mediterranean. Products such as broad beans provide carbohydrates, proteins, and fibre and have a very low fat content. Garlic and Borges garlic olive oil add a touch of health to the dish since garlic contains multiple properties (diuretic, antibacterial, digestive, antithrombotic and anticarciogenic).
