(photo LOF - Dattes stuffed with salted butter)
To make stuffed dates you need excellent quality fresh dates, Californian,North African, or Portuguese...). Do not use dried dates they must be soft and tender with a good strong flavour.
The butter from the Açores is marvelous.
The quality of the ingredients is everything (surprise!)
So the recipe is easy : open the date , remove the pit and replace it with a bit of salted butter about the same size.
You can find recipes for butter stuffed dates, or even dates stuffed with maple butter or almond butter. Once you've tasted them you regret having visited Lugar do Olhar Feliz.
They are like salt butter caramels. Its easy to start and hard to stop. Yes of course they are not really recommended in most diets but then you can't spend all your time getting skinny.
