Beautiful Stuffed dates are available now at Herat Foods on Pembina and Halal Meats and Specialty Foods on Maryland.
They are so simple to prepare:
Blanch almonds if they have the skin on and peel the skin off. Poke out the pit of the date, stuff with 1-2 blanched almonds. Serve. Optional to drizzle a bit of tahini mixed with honey over the dates.
