Wonderful how recipes made in everyday ancient rome can be made and enjoyed today. These were always on our winter holiday table or a good facsimile. Delicious Ingredients:
1 scant cup fresh or dried dates |
1/4 cup coarsely ground nuts or stone-pine kernels |
a little bit salt |
honey, or red wine with honey (to stew) |
Directions:
1. Take the stones out of the dates and fill them with nuts or stone-pine kernels. Sprinkle a bit of salt on the filled dates and stew them in honey or honey-sweetened red wine. The dates have to be cooked in on low heat until their paring starts to come off (approximately 5-10 minutes).
2. Note:
3. -
4. You may also fill some dates with ground pepper. (I wonder how this might taste - but that's a suggestion from the original recipe.
