Re: Roasted almonds stuffed in dates >Any special hints re. your roasting method? Just pop 'em in the oven? >Were the raw almonds slivered or whole? > >Thanks, >Kath Very simple. Just roast them on medium-high heat dry, right in a frying pan. Just sit there and watch them carefully to make sure they don't burn, moving them around and stuff. Then cool, and shove one each inside a date. I like the gooiest dates for this. Very tasty, and not too caloric if you only eat a few! BTW - these are good for potassium and fiber, and trace minerals like calcium, zinc, etc. Also, the oven would work just fine. I might use the broiler in this case, but still watch very carefully. When done, they might have the slightest hint of black on the spot where they touched the metal - no biggie.
