Preheat the oven to 200°C (Gas Mark 6), then prepare the boneless pork by leaving some of the fat intact to keep it moist, slicing it lengthways and gently flattening it with a rolling pin before seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper; in a bowl mix the minced pork with the grated cheese, eggs, and seasoning until well combined, spread the mixture evenly over the prepared pork, roll or fold to enclose the stuffing, and secure with foil or a baking net, cooking as for a traditional roast pork, and if crackling is desired score the skin deeply before cooking and avoid basting during roasting; about 35 minutes before the end of the cooking time carefully remove the foil, increase the oven temperature, and continue roasting uncovered until the pork is cooked through and the crackling is crisp and golden.

Peel and slice the onions and carrots, then wash and cut the celery into medium-sized pieces. Place the vegetables in a medium-sized pan, add the water, tomato paste (Three Hills Kunserva), and beef shin. Set the pan over a medium flame and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 1½ hours, skimming regularly to remove any foam. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot. 

Put peas in a bowl.  Cover with water and leave to soak overnight.  If you wish, you can add some bicarbonate of soda to the water to make the peas more digestible. Clean tripe in plenty of salted water.  Cut into small pieces and wash again.  You have to wash the tripe more than once. When you see that the tripe is clean put in a saucepan and cover with water.  Put pan on a moderate to high heat and bring to boil.  Lower heat and continue cooking for about 45 minutes.  Whilst the tripe is cooking, wash, peel and cut all vegetables in small pieces and put in a large saucepan.  Add stock, tomato paste and tripe.  Drain peas.  Rinse under running water and add to the soup. Put pan on a moderate heat and bring to the boil.  Lower heat and simmer for 1½ hours.  If during the cooking you see that you must add some more liquid, you can use the water in which you boiled the tripe. Before serving adjust the seasoning.  This soup has to be served piping hot.

Bring a pan with water to a boil and cook the cauliflower. When cooked, drain and mash it in bowl. Add the eggs, half of the grated dry ġibniet and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, mix the fresh cheeselets with the remaining dry, and add some pepper. Pour the caulflower mix into muffin moulds, make a whole in the middle and add one teaspoon of ġibniet mix, and close top with the cauliflower mix. Bake at 200°C for around 30 minutes. Decorate with mustard and a cherry tomato half. These can be served as a starter, or a snack and prepared before and heated when necessary.

Boil pasta in plenty of salted water. When pasta is cooked, cool under running water and strain. In a large frying pan heat some oil and fry the onion and garlic. Add the minced meat and continue cooking on low heat for about 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and the chopped fresh tomatoes. Continue cooking on a low heat for a further 20 minutes. Preheat oven Gas Mark 5/1900C. Put the pasta either in a large bowl or else you can use the same pan where you had boiled it. Add meat sauce, eggs, seasoning and cheese. Mix well, taking great care so as not to break up the pasta. Line a pie dish with pastry. Fill with pasta mixture and cover again with pastry. Egg wash, sprinkle some sesame seeds and cook in a medium to hot oven for about 50 minutes.

Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic. Chop the hard-boiled eggs. In a large frying pan heat some oil and quickly fry the onions and garlic till golden brown. Add the meat and continue frying for about 10 minutes on a high heat. Lower heat. Add the tomatoes, basil, seasoning, tomato paste and stock and simmer for a further 30 minutes. This sauce can be prepared overnight, and it freezes very well. Preheat the oven Gas Mark 5/1900C. Lightly grease a baking dish. Meanwhile fill large pot with water and bring to boil. Boil the pasta till al dente. Drain and put pasta in a large mixing bowl.
