date candies with orange
I found this recipe a few years ago in an international cookbook. Something different, something I had to try, and still like to try 🙂
Ingredients for 4 people:
- 150 grams of dried and pitted dates
- 30 grams of raisins, soaked overnight in fresh orange juice
- 50 grams of marzipan
- 30 grams of chopped walnuts
- 30 g chopped pistachios
- A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves
- 8 sheets phyllo dough (very thin) (or puff pastry, which is a bit easier to handle)
- Egg white
- A little oil for frying
- 2 oranges
Directions:
- Submerge the raisins for one night in fresh orange juice.
- Remove them from the orange juice, and press the juice out of them. (Drink the juice, it is extremely tasty now).
- Chop the dates, walnuts, pistachios and raisins fine with the kitchen robot.
- Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
- Mix them with the marzipan and create a paste of the mixture.
- Now it is time to taste the mixture 🙂
- Roll the mixture into a piece of phyllo dough (or puff pastry). Use some egg white to fix the candies.
- Bake the candies shortly in a pan to make them brown on all sides.
- Enjoy and surprise your guests 🙂
