🍵 Traditional Maltese Brodu (Broth) Mix
Pure Comfort in a Pack. Just Add Water.
There is nothing quite like the aroma of a simmering Brodu filling a Maltese home. Whether it’s a Sunday lunch starter or a restorative meal for a rainy day, a great broth depends entirely on the quality of the vegetables. We’ve selected, peeled, and sliced the essential “Brodu pack” so you can get that pot simmering in seconds.
🌿 The Traditional Selection
Our Brodu mix is designed to provide a clear, golden, and nutrient-rich broth. We include the classic “big” cuts that allow the vegetables to release their flavour slowly without turning to mush:
-
The Root Base: Large-cut Carrots and chunky Potatoes for sweetness and body.
-
The Essentials: Fresh Kohlrabi (Ġidra) or Centinaria, peeled and quartered.
-
The Greens: Whole Celery stalks and Marrows to provide that signature aromatic depth.
-
The Flavour Boosters: Onions to add richness.
💎 Why Our Brodu Mix is Different
-
The “Clear Broth” Guarantee: Because we hand-wash and vacuum-seal our vegetables immediately after cutting, you don’t get the “cloudiness” often found with older, pre-packaged veg.
-
Tailored for Slow Cooking: We keep the cuts larger than our Minestra mix, specifically designed to withstand the 1–2 hours of simmering required for a deep-flavour broth.
-
Waste-Free: No more buying a whole bunch of celery or a massive kohlrabi just to use one piece. Our pack gives you the exact variety needed for one family-sized pot.
👨🍳 How to Prepare:
-
The Base: Place your choice of meat (beef shin, chicken, or soup bones) in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil, skimming the surface.
-
The Veg: Open your Ta-Malta Ready-to-Cook Brodu Pack and pour the contents directly into the pot.
- The Protein: You may optionally add chunks of beef or chicken.
-
The Simmer: Add a few peppercorns and a pinch of sea salt. Lower the heat and let it simmer. All slow and comfort food.
