Yield Makes 12 dates

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces fresh (not smoked) Spanish chorizo sausage links, casings removed, coarsely crumbled
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
12 large Medjool dates
6 slices applewood-smoked bacon, cut crosswise in half
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Cook chorizo in heavy small skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, stirring frequently and breaking up lumps with spoon, about 5 minutes. Drain off fat; transfer sausage to small bowl. Add parsley; stir to combine. Cool.
  • Working with one date at a time, cut slit along top of date. Gently pry open date and remove pit, leaving pocket. Stuff pocket with 1 scant tablespoon chorizo mixture. Wrap 1 bacon piece around each date, overlapping ends slightly; fasten ends with toothpick.
  • Heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add dates, toothpick-side down, and cook without moving until bacon browns, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook until bacon is brown on all sides, turning dates occasionally, about 6 minutes longer. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Remove toothpicks. Serve warm.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! The dates are the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the chorizo adds a nice bit of spice. I'll definitely be making these again.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use any type of chorizo you like, and you can add different fillings to the dates. I've tried them with goat cheese, blue cheese, and even bacon. They're all delicious!

These dates are so easy to make and they're always a hit. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve.
