Plattin ta’ San Martin

The San Martin Platter is one of those charming traditional treats that brings with it the warmth of autumn and the gentle promise of winter. It’s a beautiful celebration of simple ingredients: soft pitted dates, sweet dried apricots, rustic dried figs, and a generous handful of roasted nuts — hazelnuts, walnuts, pistachios, almonds, and cashews — all coming together in a nostalgic mix we’ve long associated with St Martin’s Day.

Bright pomegranate seeds add a burst of colour and freshness, while the bay leaves lend a subtle aromatic touch that ties everything back to our roots.

This platter isn’t just a blend of flavours — it’s a small celebration of tradition, nature, and the cosy spirit of the season.
