You need to add a small bunch of chopped celery leaves and kohlrabi, peeled and chopped, not turnips. Also add about a cup of Favetta, (Split Fava beans) You may want to soak them in water over night first. This is what makes a true Maltese Minestra! Add the beans to the pot while the water is still cold or else they won’t cook properly. Add enough water to cover the vegetables well. Do not add more water once the pot begins to boil or, again, the beans won’t cook properly. It also helps if you fry the onion in a bit of olive oil first. Don’t lose heart. This is an easy recipe. Enjoy!
