A standout moment in the video is Jones’ emphasis on the significance of a good red wine in elevating the flavours of the stew. He skilfully incorporates this element, underscoring the culinary expertise required to capture the essence of the Maltese classic.
Throughout the TikTok, Jones charmingly comments on the Italian-esque inspiration behind the dish, emphasising the use of humble farmers’ ingredients. He poetically describes the Rabbit Stew as the embodiment of the Mediterranean in the winter time—a hearty, soul-warming dish that transcends borders and brings the essence of Malta to kitchens around the world.
Jones’ successful recreation of this beloved Maltese dish stands as a testament to the power of social media in fostering global culinary appreciation… all that’s missing is a piece of Maltese bread to dip!
