Simple & decadent – the perfect bite
One of our favorite restaurants in DC sadly closed during the pandemic — Komi — so I was forced to try to recreate their delicious warm date bites. This doesn’t do them justice, but it’s darn close and delicious.
Ingredients
- 24 pitted dates
- ½ cup mascarpone
- 2 Tbs Greek yogurt (optional if you like a little tang)
- Olive oil (high quality)
- Flaky salt
Recipe
-
Preheat oven to 250 Fahrenheit.
-
Prepare dates by slicing lengthwise to open like a taco shell, making sure to remove the pit (and make sure they look right…dates can frequently have a powder-like mold – when in doubt, throw it out). Place them on a lined baking dish, opened up lengthwise.
-
Whip the Mascarpone and the desired amount of yogurt and spoon into a piping bag or the corner of a ziplock bag.
-
Pipe mascarpone into each date, then close them up, coat them in olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
-
Warm for 10 minutes in the oven. Serve warm, drizzled with more olive oil and a sprinkle of nice flaky salt.
