Ingredients

1 scant cup fresh or dried dates

1/4 cup coarsely ground nuts or stone-pine kernels

a little bit salt

honey, or red wine with honey (to stew)

Directions

Take the stones out of the dates and fill them with nuts or stone-pine kernels. Sprinkle a bit of salt on the filled dates and stew them in honey or honey-sweetened red wine. The dates have to be cooked in on low heat until their paring starts to come off (approximately 5-10 minutes).

Note:

-------

You may also fill some dates with ground pepper. (I wonder how this might taste - but that's a suggestion from the original recipe.
