YOUR DELICIOUS MONTHLY RECIPE

A restaurant located in Sliema, Azar offers international cuisine in a setting of laid-back sophistication. Azar encapsulates the perfect combination of elegance and simplicity to delight the senses. The concept was conceived by chef and owner, Michele Zahra, after years working in the restaurant industry, experimenting and refining his techniques. His passion for cooking over open flames and infusing dishes with the flavour of wood and natural fire inspired him to develop this unique concept.

This dish is our twist on the traditional Maltese soup called ‘Kusksu’. This dish probably originated from Malta’s Arab occupation, given the very close resemblance it has to couscous.

Our take has a base of rich Prawn bisque that is cooked down with the pasta in a risotto style manner to create a perfectly creamy dish and finished with a Crudo of local red prawns to give it a fresh finish.
