Traditional Gozitan Easter Qassatat with dried sheep's milk cheese and egg filling. 

Given that rabbits are symbolic of Easter, this savoury twist on the classic Figolla features beer-braised rabbit belly, complemented by tender dates, crispy guanciale, and toasted almonds, all encased in a flaky shortcrust pastry infused with turmeric and Italian herbs. It could aptly be dubbed a "Figolla pie."

These are not the traditional figolli, but a healthier option for those who are careful about their weight. This recipe doesn’t contain refined sugar or butter. For a sweeter version, choose very ripe bananas.

Easter Colomba: Italian Easter cake shaped like a dove, similar to panettone, with candied fruits, almonds, and sugar glaze. Symbolizes peace and resurrection.
