Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Select the Dates: Choose fresh, plump dates for the best texture and sweetness. Medjool dates work very well for this recipe.
2. Pit the Dates: Using a small paring knife, carefully make a slit lengthwise on one side of each date. Remove the pit gently without tearing the date apart too much.
1. Almonds: If desired, lightly roast the almonds for added flavor. To roast, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread almonds evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for about 10 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even roasting. Let them cool completely.
2. Nutritional Yeast: Measure out 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast. This will bring a slightly cheesy, savory flavor to the dish.
1. Take one pit-free date and gently open the slit you made earlier.
2. Insert one almond into each date where the pit used to be.
3. Sprinkle a generous pinch of nutritional yeast into the date along with the almond. Press the date back together to help hold everything in place. Repeat this process with all the dates.
1. Arrange these stuffed dates on a serving platter. For added presentation, you can garnish with a touch more nutritional yeast or finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley.
2. These dates can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to a couple of days. If refrigerating, allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
- Serve these delightful vegan almond-stuffed yeast-infused dates as an appetizer, snack, or part of a larger spread for any special occasion!
Tips:
- Experiment with activated yeast to enhance the flavor and nutritional profile of the dish.
- Combine the yeast with a small amount of warm water to activate it before adding it to the dates for a more pronounced yeast flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Vegan Almond-Stuffed Yeast-Infused Dates are a wonderful blend of flavors and textures that make an excellent snack or appetizer.
