Stuffed Roasted Dates Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the cheeses and basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Gently pull the dates apart and stuff with about 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese mixture. Close the dates around the filling. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each date and secure with a toothpick.
• Arrange the stuffed dates on a platter and serve.

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese and Gorgonzola cheese together in a bowl.
• Cut a slit into each date so they can be spread flat. Spread cheese mixture into each date; top with a walnut piece.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add peppers and tomatoes and cook on low heat for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the liquid in the sauce has mostly evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Let sauce cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and process until smooth. Thin with warm water to reach desired consistency if necessary. You want a thick sauce but not so thick that it mounds on the plate.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Stuff dates with chorizo, using about 1/2 tablespoon of chorizo per date. Cut bacon slices in half lengthwise and wrap a slice around each date.
• Place stuffed dates on a small baking sheet and bake 15 minutes, or until chorizo is cooked through. Turn broiler to high and broil for 2 to 4 minutes, or until bacon is dark brown and crisp.
• Spread sauce on each plate and place 3 dates on top. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Open up center of each Date.
• Place nuts in center of each date and close up.
• Roll each date in sugar or coconut.
• Make as many as you want.

Steps:

• Toast pistachios in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 5-8 minutes. Let cool slightly, then finely chop.
• Mix goat cheese, salami, and lemon zest in a medium bowl.
• Slice dates in half lengthwise, taking care not to cut all the way through, and open like a book. Stuff each date with a small scoop of goat cheese mixture.
• Arrange dates, filling side up, on a large plate or platter. Drizzle honey over and top with pistachios.

Steps:

• Stuff dates with one almond or pecan per date. Roll in powdered sugar.
• Place on wax paper in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Beat goat cheese by hand until smooth, then stir in heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and spreadable.
• Make a slit lengthwise in each date, and remove the pit. Fill each date with a heaping teaspoon of goat cheese mixture. Sprinkle with salt just before serving.
