Time 15m

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 Tbsp. raw pistachios
4 oz. goat cheese
3 oz. thinly sliced Calabrese or other spicy salami, finely chopped
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
24 large dates (about 6 oz.), preferably Medjool, pitted
Honey (for drizzling)

Steps:

  • Toast pistachios in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 5-8 minutes. Let cool slightly, then finely chop.
  • Mix goat cheese, salami, and lemon zest in a medium bowl.
  • Slice dates in half lengthwise, taking care not to cut all the way through, and open like a book. Stuff each date with a small scoop of goat cheese mixture.
  • Arrange dates, filling side up, on a large plate or platter. Drizzle honey over and top with pistachios.
