Dates Stuffed with Fresh Mozzarella Recipe

Cicada Executive Chef Suzay Cha
About: This hors d'oeuvre combines sweetness from the dates, creaminess from the fresh cheese, saltiness from the anchovy fillet and a nice kick from the ginger powder. There are many variations of this dish from wrapping the dates with bacon and stuffing them with blue cheese to deep frying them in tempura and filling them with goat cheese and pecans. These are easy to prepare and are great for parties and barbeques. Whatever flavor combination you like, spicy and sweet, sour and salty, there's an option for you.
