Tapas Time – Datil con Tocino / Dates Wrapped In Bacon

This is a popular and easy tapas. Grocery stores sell these ready for the broiler. We looked at a package of them at a local store, and I decided that I could make them better and cheaper.


Ingredients:

• Dates - Semi Dry (Pitted)
• Cheese - Semi Curado Manchego
• Toasted Almonds

Put It Together:

• Cut the bacon strips in half crosswise.
• Stuff the dates with almonds or cheese.
• Wrap a piece of bacon around the stuffed date.
• Secure the bacon wrap to the date with a toothpick.
• Broil until the bacon is crispy.
• Serve immediately.

What I'll Do Next Time
I saw a recipe that included serving them with a drizzle of reduced balsamic vinegar with butter. The goodness just keeps getting better.
