Method

4 soļi
  1. Slit each date lengthwise, take out the stone and peel away the thin white skin that clings around it.
  2. Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Add the wine, lemon peel, sugar and cinnamon and bring to a simmer.
  3. Add the dates, cover and stew very gently for 5–8 minutes, turning them once, until soft but still whole and the liquid is syrupy.
  4. Lift into a small dish, spoon the syrup over and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Serve warm with roast lamb, duck or game, or as a pudding.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

dates slit, the stones and white skin taken out, stewed soft in melted butter with wine, lemon peel, sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. The amounts, the choice of wine and the times are ours.

Sugar

modern dates are very sweet; the book's were probably dried harder and less sweet. Taste before adding the sugar.

Which dates

soft Medjool dates need only 3–4 minutes; firmer Deglet Nour dates need the full time.
