Directions: |
Directions:Cut a slit down the length of the dates and push the seed out, its big and comes out easily. If you choose to stuff something tasty inside do so now just make sure it can close completely. Firmly wrap a slice of bacon around each date. Lay the dates down on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If you use the side of the date where the bacon ends as the bottom you wont need a toothpick to hold it together.
Place in a 350º oven bake for about 25min or until bacon is crisp
let it cool for a few minutes
For sauce:
Toss tomatoes, red pepper and garlic with enough oil to coat and a sprinkle of salt. Place in 350º oven for 20 min or until the garlic is browned. While this is cooking wrap your dates.
let cool for ten minutes.
Place veggies and all the juices in food processor or blender with the rest of the ingredients except for the olive oil. puree until smooth. Add the olive oil slowly to emulsify the sauce while the blender is running it should have a light consistency but still have some body.
Serve dates on top of sauce but save some to dip. |
