Directions

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spread the walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast for about 8 minutes or just until fragrant. Cool completely.

  • Step 2

    Stuff each date with a piece of walnut (or two).

  • Step 3

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the dates and stir to coat. Cook until they are thoroughly heated through; this should take about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  • Step 4

    Season the dates with the fleur de sel. Transfer to a serving dish and serve right away, or freeze for up to 1 month.
