Stuffed Dates

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dates

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Begin by using a sharp knife to make a lengthwise slit in each Medjool date. Carefully remove the pit from each date, ensuring not to tear the date apart.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Dates

    In a mixing bowl, combine goat cheese and hazelnut dukkah. Mix until well combined. Using a small spoon or your fingers, stuff each date with the goat cheese mixture until they are generously filled.

  3. 3

    Bake the Stuffed Dates

    Place the stuffed dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is warm and slightly golden.

  4. 4

    Serve with Romesco

    Remove the dates from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle or serve with romesco sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy warm.
