This dish of dates stuffed with chopped nuts is a 'home style treat' that was once savored in ancient Rome. You can replace the pine nuts with almonds if you prefer. Ingredients:
12 pitted dates |
1/4 cup chopped, toasted pine nuts |
3 tablespoons red wine |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper (optional) |
1/4 cup honey |
Directions:
1. Stuff dates with chopped nuts: the nuts are inserted into the space left by the pit.
2. Place dates in a small pan. Sprinkle with pepper if desired. Add wine, then drizzle honey over dates. Cook over medium heat until the skins begin to peel off the fruit. Transfer dates to a serving dish, and allow to cool slightly before serving.
