Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon-Wrapped Chorizo Stuffed Dates.
Step 1
Start by trimming the ends off your chorizo sausage and cutting it into twelve equal cubes.
Step 2
Next, take each cube and stuff it into a pitted date, making sure to fill it generously.
Step 3
Once all your dates are filled, wrap a slice of bacon around each one and secure it with a toothpick.
Step 4
If you’re planning ahead, you can prepare these delightful bites in advance.
Step 5
Now, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and place the dates in the skillet with the bacon seam facing down.
Step 6
Fry them until the bacon turns a beautiful golden brown, then flip them over to cook the other side until the bacon is fully crispy.
Step 7
At this point, you can enjoy them as is, or if you’re in the mood for an extra crunch, let’s take it up a notch! Heat some vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large skillet until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
Step 8
In a small bowl, whisk together a beaten egg and a splash of water to create a simple egg wash.
Step 9
Coat each date in flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well-covered.
Step 10
Carefully place the coated dates into the hot oil and fry them for about four minutes, turning them once to achieve an even golden brown.
Step 11
Once they’re perfectly crispy, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Step 12
Serve these mouthwatering treats hot and watch them disappear! Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures that will surely impress your guests.
