Preparation Steps

Prepare the Italian Sausage
In a mixing bowl, break up the Italian sausage and mix until it is evenly blended. You can use mild or spicy sausage according to your preference.

Stuff the Dates
Take each pitted date and carefully stuff it with a small amount of the Italian sausage mixture. Make sure to fill it but not overstuff it.
- 3
Wrap with Bacon
Take one slice of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed date, ensuring the bacon covers the sausage completely. Secure it with a toothpick.

Prepare Piquillo Peppers
Cut the piquillo peppers into strips. These will be used as a garnish later.

Bake the Wrapped Dates
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bacon-wrapped dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the sausage is cooked through.
