Dates stuffed with cheese and wrapped in prosciutto ham is an irresistable mix of sweet and salty flavours, especially when served warm with the cheese oozing and the ham all crispy. It's a quick and easy party snack or canapé that you can prep ahead and finish off in your air fryer.
Ingredients
- 20 dates
- 300g/10½oz manchego cheese
- 140g/5oz prosciutto
- pickled jalapeño chillies
- 2 tbsp shelled pistachios (or other nuts of your choice)
- 2 tsp sumac or chilli flakes
Method
Break each date in half and remove the pit. Cut the manchego into small cubes that will fit into the date halves. Cut each strip of prosciutto into thirds.
Stuff each date half with a cube of manchego and wrap with prosciutto.
Air fry at 200C for 5 minutes, or until the ham is crispy.
Meanwhile crush the nuts. You can either bash them with a rolling pin or use a pestle and mortar.
Poke a cocktail stick through each date and top it with a jalapeno.
Sprinkle with nuts and sumac and serve immediately.
