These sweet, tender Medjool dates make a sophisticated Mediterranean bite in minutes. Tangy soft goat cheese balances the natural caramel richness of the dates, while toasted walnuts add a pleasant crunch. A final touch of honey and dried thyme brings the savory-sweet profile together beautifully.

Method

  1. 1

    Place the raw heirloom walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Toast for 3 to 4 minutes, shaking the pan often, until lightly fragrant and golden. Transfer to a cutting board to cool for 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Using a small paring knife, slice a lengthwise slit down one side of each organic Medjool date and remove the pits, taking care not to cut entirely in half.

  3. 3

    Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of softened raw goat soft chèvre cheese into the pocket of each date.

  4. 4

    Press the chopped toasted walnuts gently into the soft chèvre inside each filled date.

  5. 5

    Arrange the stuffed dates on a serving dish, drizzle lightly with raw honey, and finish with a sprinkle of organic whole thyme and a tiny pinch of salt.

Tip

Assemble these up to a day ahead and store chilled in an airtight container; bring to room temperature for 10 minutes and add the honey drizzle right before serving.
