A completely delightful Persian sweet. So simple that you can let the kids help. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs soft dates (for mixing) |
1/2 teaspoon cardamom |
2 cups grated coconut |
6 tablespoons butter |
3/4 lb almonds |
1/2 cup water |
Directions:
1. Blanch, peel (or use already blanched) and then fry the almonds in oil until golden brown, place on paper towels to drain.
2. In a pan, melt the butter, add pitted dates and stir well over low heat; dates should not stick to the sides of the pan.
3. Remove from stove top; add the cardamom and leave to cool.
4. Take small piece of date dough, place an almond in the center and roll into a finger shape.
5. Repeat using all of the date dough.
6. Roll each date finger in the coconut and arrange on a serving dish.
