Date and Nut Slices
“Start your day with these nutritious slices. They are rich in vitamins and minerals, and packed with lots of energy,” says food blogger Anisa Karolia.
“These will help suppress sugar cravings and control your appetite through the day.”
Date and Nut Slices
Ingredients:
(Makes 28)
50g butter
250g pitted dates, finely chopped
50g granulated sugar
20g chopped pistachios
20g chopped almonds
20g chopped cashews
50g Marie biscuits or digestive biscuits, broken into pieces
Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
Date and nut rolls from The Ramadan Cookbook
Method:
1. Melt the butter in a saucepan on a low heat and add the dates and sugar. Cook until the dates soften and start to look mushy. This will take eight to 10 minutes. Add the chopped nuts and biscuits, and stir everything together.
2. Take a sheet of baking paper and lay out flat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and place the date mixture on top. Roll into a log shape, using the paper to help make a tight roll. Chill in the fridge for one hour until firm, then cut into one-centimetre slices. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three weeks.
