Ingredients
Units
- 20–30 large fresh dates (Medjool, Khadrawy or Halawy)
- 1 cup toasted almonds
- 1 cup toasted, shelled pistachios
- 6 Tbsp honey
- pinch of salt
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- tahini, to taste
- flake salt (like Maldon), 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.
Notes
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week without the tahini and salt.
