Tuna-Rice-Olive-Pumpkin Pie
"Summer Feeling In Winter"
Serves 4 portions | Prep Time 1 hour | Cook Time 45 minutesWhy I Love This Recipe
I think the is actually from zijja Tessie - translates to aunt Tessie or better 'Aunty Tessie' in Malenglish .. MalteseEnglish!
Tastes awesome in summer (eaten at room temperature or even cold when it's 40 degrees +) but also in winter (definitely warm)
Ingredients You'll Need
500g pumpkin
