Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

14 ounces Medjool dates (about 1 1/2 cups), pitted
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
3 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup Greek honey or other honey
1 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds (from about 10 pods), finely ground in spice mill or in mortar with pestle
8 17 1/2x12 1/2-inch or sixteen 13 1/2x8 1/2-inch sheets fresh phyllo pastry or frozen, thawed
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup Greek whole-milk yogurt

Steps:

  • Combine dates, walnuts, 3 tablespoons honey, orange peel, and cardamom in processor. Blend until paste forms.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment. If using 17 1/2x12 1/2-inch phyllo sheets, place stack of 8 phyllo sheets on work surface. Halve stack crosswise, forming 16 sheets, each 12 1/2x8 3/4 inches; arrange in 1 stack. Or if using 13 1/2x8 1/2-inch phyllo sheets, stack 16 sheets on work surface. Cover phyllo stack with plastic wrap, then damp kitchen towel. Remove 1 phyllo sheet from stack and place on work surface; brush with melted butter. Top with second sheet; brush with butter. Starting 1 inch from edge at short end of phyllo, spoon 3 tablespoons date mixture in dollops in row parallel to edge. Mold date mixture into log, leaving 1/2-inch border at edges of phyllo. Roll up date log in phyllo, enclosing filling and forming roll (filling will be exposed at ends). Transfer to baking sheet; brush with butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo, butter, and date mixture. Bake until golden, about 23 minutes. Cool on baking sheet.
  • Spoon yogurt into small bowl (or 8 individual bowls); drizzle remaining 1/4 cup honey over yogurt. Place 1 phyllo roll on each of 8 plates. Serve with honey-yogurt for dipping.

DATE AND WALNUT ROLLS



Date and Walnut Rolls image

This recipe has been adapted from an Australian Women's Weekly Recipe. It makes two rolls. It keeps for a month or so if wrapped in plastic cling wrap and placed it in the freezer. You can slice it and freeze in single serves to take in your lunch box. Can substitute pecans for the walnuts or leave them out all together (just add in some extra dates instead). I also make a gluten-free version of this recipe see recipe#218329

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup dates, chopped (dried pitted dates)
1 cup brown sugar, measure firmly packed
1 1/4 cups water
60 g butter
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
2 cups self-raising flour (alternately use 2 cups plain flour and 4 teaspoons baking powder)

Steps:

  • Grease 2 - 8cm round x 17cm long nut roll tins. If you do not have nut roll tins you can use a bar loaf tin and cover it tightly in foil- the result is not as quite as good.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F ).
  • Combine the date, butter, sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar and butter have melted. Bring to boiling point and then remove from the heat.
  • Allow the mixture to cool.
  • Stir the sifted bicarbonate soda, sifted flour, egg and nuts into the cooled date mixture.
  • Spoon the mixture into the greased tins. Replace the lids tightly and bake upright in a moderate oven for 40 minutes.
  • Stand rolls ten minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool.
  • Serve sliced with butter.
  • Suitable to slice and freeze.
  • As a variation you can use pecan nuts or macadamias in place of the walnuts.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your rolls. Look for dates that are plump and moist, and walnuts that are fresh and crunchy.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help it to double in size and become light and fluffy.
  • Roll the dough out thinly. This will help the rolls to cook evenly.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking. This will give them a golden brown color and help them to stay moist.
  • Serve the rolls warm. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Date and walnut rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their sweet and nutty flavor, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give these date and walnut rolls a try.
