About: Kwareżimal

An Entity of Type: Food, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

A kwarezimal (Maltese: kwareżimal; from Italian Quaresima 'Lent') is a traditional Maltese biscuit, usually baked during Lent. It contains flour, sugar, orange rind and ground almonds (intrita). They are vegan, since they contain no animal protein, eggs, or dairy products. Tradition holds that the kwarezimal was developed by the Knights of Malta. At the time, sugar was not restricted during Lent as it often is in modern practice, but rather considered a type of spice due to its high cost and humoral qualities.

dbo:abstract
  • El kwareżimal es un postre tradicional de Pascua de la gastronomía maltesa.​ Se elabora principalmente con harina, azúcar, piel de naranja y almendras molidas (intrita). Ya que no contienen proteínas animales, ni huevos ni productos lácteos, es una receta vegana. El kwareżimal fue desarrollado por los Caballeros de Malta. La palabra proviene del italiano quarezima, literalmente significa cuaresma, el periodo en el que los cristianos evitaban el consumo de ciertos alimentos, aunque no del azúcar; A diferencia de hoy, antaño el azúcar se consideraba un tipo de especia debido a su alto costo y sus cualidades humorales.​ En la Europa medieval, los productos animales debían evitarse en tiempos de penitencia. La elección de los ingredientes puede haber sido limitada, pero eso no significaba que las comidas fueran más pequeñas. Tampoco hubo restricciones contra el consumo moderado de alcohol o el consumo de dulces. Los banquetes celebrados en los días de pescado eran ocasiones populares para servir comida que imitaba carne, queso y huevos de varias maneras ingeniosas; el pescado se puede moldear para que parezca carne de venado y se pueden hacer huevos de imitación rellenando las cáscaras de huevo vacías con huevas de pescado y leche de almendras y cocinándolas en brasas.

In medieval Europe, animal products were to be avoided during times of penance. The choice of ingredients may have been limited, but that did not mean that meals were smaller. Neither were there any restrictions against moderate drinking or eating sweets. Banquets held on fish days were popular occasions for serving food that imitated meat, cheese and eggs in various ingenious ways: fish could be molded to look like venison and imitation eggs could be made by stuffing empty egg shells with fish roe and almond milk and cooking on coals.
