Another in Boqueria's chef Sean Mullen's tapas for 8 party menu. Substitute any blue cheese if you cannot get the one in the recipe, and any almond if you dont have marcona. Ingredients:
16 madjool dates |
16 marcona almonds, toasted |
1/4 lb valdeon blue cheese or 1/4 lb cabrales blue cheese |
8 slices bacon, each cut in half |
16 toothpicks |
Directions:
1. Cut each date along one side, removing the pit and replacing it with a toasted Marcona almond.
2. Place a teaspoon of the cheese inside the date and close it. Wrap each date with half a slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
3. Bake in a 400-degree oven until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
