This is a simple, simply delectable recipe that you can make as a tasty appetizer to serve in a special occasion. This is certainly a Mediterranean-inspired dish, a succulent combination of flavors, creamy and caramely, that you can easily get addicted to. The date tree originated around the Nile and Euphrates rivers of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Now, however, the date palm grows in warm climates on all continents. Wonderfully delicious, dates are one the most popular fruits, packing lots of fibers, vitamins, antioxidants and minerals; they are an excellent source of iron. I love dates: by themselves, stuffed or in sweets. —Paola Lovisetti-Scamihorn
