Introduction from Katie Marshall
Dates stuffed with cream cheese are an established (and delightful!) canapé, but switching to goat’s cheese makes these even more irresistible. Simply elevated with chopped walnuts and thyme, and a finishing touch of homemade hot honey, you could easily accidentally scoff half a dozen of these while nattering away.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/Gas 4. Put the walnuts on a baking tray and roast for 6 minutes, until lightly toasted. Cool, then finely chop. Put in a bowl, adding the goat’s cheese and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, then mix to combine.
Meanwhile, put the honey, chilli flakes, chilli powder and vinegar in a small pan over low heat and heat, stirring to combine.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly while you stuff the dates. Remove the stones (pits) from the dates using a table knife, then use a teaspoon (or a piping bag with a large opening) to generously stuff with the goat’s cheese mixture. Put on to a plate, drizzle with the hot honey and serve.
