Roman Stuffed Dates
  1. Add the nuts into a mortar and pestle. You can also do this in a food processor if you want to save on time.

  2. Crush the nuts until fine. Add the pepper and stir.

  3. Make a cut on each date in the middle and take out the pit. Fill each date with the nut filling.

  4. In a pan, warm up the honey on medium heat until it’s super thin but not bubbling.

  5. Take the pan off the heat, add in the dates and baste them with the honey. Serve and enjoy!

Variations and Substitutions for Roman Stuffed Dates

Feel free to use any type of nuts 🥜 or seeds you like, such as pecans, almonds, and macadamia nuts.

Add your favorite cheese, such as goat cheese or feta, to the stuffing for a creamier texture.

To switch up the flavor profile, you can add a hint of spice such as cinnamon or cayenne pepper 🌶️ for a bit of warmth.

If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of honey 🍯to let the savory flavor of the nuts and pepper stand out.

If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, grind nuts and black pepper together in a food processor instead.
