Medjool dates are tropical fruits from date palm trees, cherished for ages in North Africa and the Middle East. Their sweet, caramel-like taste captured my heart when my daughter Nora and I visited Jordan and Dubai. In both countries, this humble fruit is celebrated and can be quite addictive. Since returning, I’ve been enjoying them every afternoon when I need something sweet. I love stuffing them with different nuts, even candied orange peel. Next time you have guests, create a tray of dates with various nuts; I assure you, it will be warmly welcomed.
Ingredients:
- 16 Medjool dates
- Walnuts
- Coconut
- Hazelnuts
Instructions:
- Cut the dates in length and remove the stones.
- Stuff the dates with your favorite nuts. Keep some whole, such as hazelnuts, and chop others, like pistachios.
