Bacon-Wrapped, Chorizo-Stuffed Dates

Course Appetizer
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound chorizo
  • 15-20 whole, pitted dates
  • 5 slices regular cut bacon
  • maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

    Line a jelly pan with parchment paper. 

  2. Brown the chorizo in a saucepan. 

    Dump the chorizo onto a plate with a paper towel to catch the grease.

  3. Cut each bacon strip into thirds. 

  4. Make an incision along one side of each date. 

    Spread the date apart and stuff as much chorizo that will fit into the date, and still allow it to close. 

    Wrap each date in one of the thirds of the bacon, and seal it with a toothpick. 

  5. Bake about 6-7 minutes and turn. (You're looking for the bacon to crisp up on all sides.)

  6. Once cooked, drizzle each date with some maple syrup and serve.
