While pecans are not listed on SIGHI, there are several members of our facebook forum who tolerate them well. Once I learned this, I felt compelled to make something with pecans! These cheesy dates are equally tasty, healthy and filling. I do, however, feel the need to apologise for yet another recipe that contains goat ricotta (my current obsession!) and promise to omit it from future posts for a little while.
Small handful fresh parsley (optional)
3 Medjool dates
3 pecans (optional)
1. Make goat cheese according to linked recipe or use a store bought version if tolerated
2. Remove stalks from parsley (if using) and chop finely
3. Combine parsley and ricotta in a small bowl
4. Cut dates in half lengthwise and remove pits. Press along the centre gently to "open" the halves, ready for the filling
5. Mould 1 tsp of filling into an oval shape with your fingers and press into empty date half. Repeat.
6. Chop pecans into small pieces and randomly press into filled dates
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate and enjoy on the same day ❤️
