CHEESE-STUFFED DATES WITH PROSCIUTTO

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.

STUFFED DATES

STUFFED DATES

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil. Fry the duck skin in the hot oil until crispy. Remove from the oil, dice and toss with a pinch of salt.
• In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, citric acid, evaporated cane juice and 6 pinches salt. Stuff the dates with the peanut butter mixture.
• Julienne the nori and sprinkle on top of each date. Garnish with duck skin and bonito flakes.

PECAN-STUFFED DATES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the shallot and a generous pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 mins until softened, then add the garlic, breadcrumbs, pecans and thyme and cook for 1 min more. Add a splash of vegetable stock to bring the mixture together, then set aside.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the dates in half lengthways (but don't cut all the way through). Take small balls of the stuffing and push inside the dates, then push the sides of the dates back together. Put a sage leaf on top of each date, then put the dates on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Get ahead by prepping your dates up to this point - they will keep in the fridge overnight ready to be baked.
• Brush the outside of the dates liberally with olive oil, then bake for 15-20 mins until the sage leaf is crisp. Serve immediately.

CREAM CHEESE-STUFFED DATES RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese and honey until blended; spoon into resealable plastic bag.

• Top with nuts, pressing gently into cream cheese mixture to secure.

STUFFED DATES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, add the ground almonds, powdered sugar, and orange flower water. Add 1 Tbsp water and work into a paste. The dough should be slightly moist; add a few more drops of water (or orange flower water) if needed.
• If using food coloring, divide the paste into even parts, add 5 or 6 drops of a single color to each, and work in.
• Wipe the dates with a damp cloth. Cut a lengthwise incision across the top of each date and carefully remove the pit. Take 1 tsp or so of the almond paste, roll it between your palms into a spherical shape, and tuck inside the date. It should bulge out of the opening. Repeat with the remaining paste and dates. Garnish each date with a walnut pressed slightly edgewise into the almond paste before serving.
