Ingredients

300G Medjool dates
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Add the dates and olive oil to a pan and cook over a low-medium heat.
Use the pack of a wooden spoon to mash down the dates as they cook in the oil. Add an optional sprinkle of salt.
Once you have a smooth paste, remove from the heat and leave to cool enough to handle with your hands.
Shape into balls, then dip in some toasted sesame seeds for extra flavour and some crunch.
