Prosciutto Wrapped Dates with Marcona Almonds

Step

• 1

  When ready to cook, set the temperature to 400℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. Place a large cast iron pan into the grill to preheat.

• 2

  Using a small paring knife, cut a slit lengthwise across the top of each date. Remove the pit.

  Ingredients

  • 24 Whole Medjool Dates

• 3

  Replace pits with 1-2 Marcona almonds, then press the dates back together with your fingers to seal.

  Ingredients

  • 1 Tub salted Marcona almonds

• 4

  Cut the prosciutto into 24 pieces lengthwise. To wrap each date, place one at the bottom of a strip of prosciutto, then roll the prosciutto around the date to cover, leaving a little bit of the date showing on each end.

  Ingredients

  • 8 Ounce Prosciutto Ham

• 5

  Add 2 Tbsp olive oil to the preheated cast iron pan. Place the dates in the pan and cook, searing the prosciutto on all sides, turning as needed, about 3-5 minutes total.

  Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil

• 6

  When the prosciutto is crispy, carefully remove the pan from the grill.

• 7

  Zest the limes over the pan so the citrus zest is absorbed into the olive oil and onto the dates. Place the dates on a serving platter.

  Ingredients

  • 2 Whole limes

• 8

  Sprinkle with flake salt, an additional drizzle of olive oil, honey if using, and serve. Enjoy!
