Stuffed Dates - Ancient Roman Recipe
Dates aren’t the most popular fruit now but back in Ancient Rome, they were a delicacy and the above video demonstrates how to make stuffed dates. The recipe comes from a cookbook called Apicius, believed to have been written by Roman gourmet Marcus Gavius Apicius.
Ingredients
- Dates
- Walnuts
- Pine nuts
- Honey
- Black pepper
- Salt
And if you’re looking for an accompanying wine, I hear that a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon works well.
