Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Prep the Dates

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, make a slit in each date and remove the pit. Stuff each date with a spoonful of the cooked chorizo.

  3. 3

    Wrap with Bacon

    Cut each bacon slice in half. Wrap each stuffed date with a half slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

  4. 4

    Bake the Dates

    Place the wrapped dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with romesco sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
