Dates Stuffed with Parmesan and Nuts
by Mary Ann Esposito on Aug 28, 2011
I love this antipasto (or even dessert) idea from Nancy Radke, the director for the Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano-Reggiano. Plump Medjool dates stuffed with chips of Parmesan cheese and pecan halves are ready in minutes and there is no cooking!
