Let’s get this party started, shall we?

These stuffed dates are ticking all the boxes:

1. Tasty!
2. Easy!
3. Pretty!

They look beautiful on a large platter, but they’re even better in your mouth. Dates + Tahini is a classic Middle Eastern combination; we thicken the tahini with butter beans and a touch of honey for perfectly pipeable filling. What do you say, is it a date?
