This combination of dusky dates and tinted marzipan is a North African tradition.

Yield 24 dates (serving size: 1 stuffed date)

  • 24 Medjool dates (about 1 pound)
  • 2 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 2/3 cup marzipan (almond paste)
  • 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
Preparation
  • Cut a lengthwise slit down the center, but not through, each date; remove seeds.
