Tal-majjal u patata is a traditional casserole originating from Malta. The dish is usually made with a combination of pork, potatoes, onions, garlic, hot peppers, fennel seeds, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. The garlic and onions are sautéed in olive oil.

The potatoes and pork are cut into cubes and added into the pan. The ingredients are well stirred, and the hot peppers, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper are then added to the mixture. Some water is added to the dish and it's baked in the oven in a casserole dish until everything is tender and fully cooked.
