Bacon Rolls with Dates
Ingredients:
Bacon strips
Dates, pitted or not
Toothpicks
Toothpicks
Remove rind off of sliced bacon strips and cut in half (each slice will make 2 rolls). If using non-pitted dates, carefully remove seeds from each one by making a lateral cut, to prevent waste.
Wrap each date in a strip of bacon, pinning the roll with a toothpick straight through. After rolling dates in bacon strips, you can either put them in the oven until bacon turns golden brown, or you can fry them in a skillet with olive oil (about a finger deep).
Once the oil begins to smoke, fry the rolls for 2 minutes until bacon is browned. Drain off excess oil and serve hot.
