Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chorizo Filling

    Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and crumble it into a skillet. Cook over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Dates

    Make a small slit in each Medjool date and remove the pit. Stuff each date with a generous amount of the cooked chorizo filling.

  3. 3

    Wrap with Bacon

    Wrap each stuffed date with a strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

  4. 4

    Bake the Dates

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