Sweet Stuffed Dates

Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 20-30 fresh dates Medjool, Khadrawy, or Halawy
  • 1 cup toasted almonds
  • 1 cup toasted shelled pistachios
  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • tahini to taste
  • flake salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, combine the almonds, pistachios, honey, salt, and spices until very finely chopped, but be careful not to overmix or the mixture can become like a nut butter. (If you don't have a food processor you can finely chop the nuts by hand and combine everything together in a bowl).
  • Slice the dates down the middle lengthwise, removing the pit, but keeping them intact.
  • Fill the dates with the nut mixture. Just before serving, drizzle the dates with good quality tahini and a sprinkle of salt.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 1 week without the tahini and salt.
