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.

I can't wait to try these rolls with different fillings. I think they would be great with apples and cinnamon or even savory fillings like spinach and feta.

These rolls are a great way to use up leftover phyllo dough.

I think these rolls would be even better if they were served warm.

I had a hard time finding phyllo dough at my local grocery store. I ended up ordering it online.

These rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but these rolls were surprisingly delicious. The sweetness of the dates was balanced out by the walnuts and phyllo dough.

The Greek yogurt and honey dipping sauce is a great addition to these rolls. It adds a touch of tanginess and sweetness.

I used a mixture of chopped walnuts and pistachios in my rolls and they turned out wonderfully.

The phyllo dough was a bit tricky to work with at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy to assemble the rolls.
