When I first saw this recipe, I didn't even click on it. But one afternoon my mom, who had savored every word of the recipe, whipped up a few while I sat at her kitchen counter.
They are amazing.
I have eaten them hot on a plate with my fingers. I've stabbed them with toothpicks. I've served them over plain Greek yogurt, drizzled with the olive oil they were cooked in, naan along side. All great. This month I've made them for everyone I've eaten with, and I have another box of dates in my kitchen right now to make tomorrow night.
Hurry to your kitchen and make these!
Sauteed Dates
adapted slightly from Renee Erickson's recipe on Food52
(read all about them here with serving suggestions)
Olive oil
Dates, pitted and cut in half length-wise
Maldon (or other flaky sea salt)
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a pan over medium/med-high heat. Sauteed dates, turning frequently until warmed through and just beginning to caramelize (watch them! they burn quickly!) Sprinkle generously with flaky salt while still hot and eat warm!
