Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams chorizo sausage
- 12 pieces medjool dates
- 12 pieces bacon slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chorizo sausage into 12 small pieces, approximately the same size as the dates.
Make a small slit in each medjool date and remove the pit.
Insert a piece of chorizo into each date, closing the slit as much as possible once stuffed.
Wrap each stuffed date with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick to hold it together.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped dates for 1-2 minutes on each side until the bacon is lightly browned.
Transfer the seared dates to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
