Ingredients

  • 16 large Medjool dates, stoned
  • 16 whole blanched almonds
  • 8 rashers streaky bacon, halved
  • 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Slit each date and remove the stone if not already stoned. Push an almond into each date.

  2. Stretch each half rasher of bacon with the back of a knife, wrap it around a date and secure with a cocktail stick.

  3. Place on a baking tray, sprinkle with the paprika and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until the bacon is crisp and golden.

  4. Leave to cool for 3 minutes, as the dates will be very hot, then serve.
