Maltese Baked Rice is a traditional dish in Malta, and most families have their favorite way of preparing it. This is a fairly basic version of this classic recipe, but it's still a really tasty dish. It's hearty enough to pass as a dinner main dish, but it's also quite often served as a hot side dish.
