Imqaret
Imqaret (pronounced Im'aret, accented on a) is a traditional Maltese sweet made with pastry and a filling of dates. The word imqaret in Maltese, is the plural of maqrut (diamond-shaped) and it signifies the diamond shape of the sweets - even though in many cases they are sold in a rectangular shape.〔(Malta & Gozo ), Juliet Rix, Bradt Travel Guides, 2013, p. 192〕〔(Food and Drinks of Malta ), Malta travel guide〕 It is very popular in Malta and it is sold in street markets, as well in village feasts, in some cases served with ice-cream.〔
During preparation the imqaret are deep fried and are usually infused with the flavours of aniseed and bay leaf. The imqaret are prepared individually by folding the pastry, in the centre of which a quantity of filling is placed. As the pastry is long, several imqaret pieces are then cut from each pastry following the deep frying process.〔(IMQARET Dates Diamonds ), thinksite.eu〕〔(Malta ), Brian Richards, New Holland Publishers, 2008 p. 29〕〔(Street Food: Recreating the World's most authentic tastes ), Tom Kime, Dorling Kindersley Ltd, 2007 p. 138〕
