Filled Dates

This is an old roman recipe from about 400 AD so it is a little vague about the amount of things.


1 package of dried dates (as non-sticky as you can get)
crushed or chopped walnuts, pine nuts or black pepper
salt
honey


Make a cut lengthwise in each date and remove the seed.

Fill each one with either the walnuts, pine nuts or a little black pepper.

Roll the filled dates in salt.

Fry them in honey in a frying pan. (The honey  flavor can be quite dominant so you only need a small layer)

Let them cool off on baking paper so that they don't stick together.

Skewer them with a toothpick while they are still warm so they are easier to eat.



Enjoy!
