Ingredients
Stuffed Dates
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
- 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons shelled salted pistachios, chopped
Spicy Honey
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Pinch of salt
- 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Add the ricotta to a food processor along with 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, salt, pepper, and the rosemary. Purée for 10-20 second until smooth. If you don't have or want to use a food processor, add the ingredients to a bowl and stir together until combined.
- Stuff the dates with about a teaspoon or so of the ricotta filling. Be sure they are well stuffed.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, add the honey and 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne depending on how spicy you want it. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, stir to combine, and then let it infuse for 5-10 minutes.
- Just before serving, top the stuffed dates with the chopped pistachios and drizzle with the honey. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and extra chopped rosemary if desired.
