Method
- Chop the pistachios finely. Zest the orange into a small bowl, add the pistachios and cinnamon, and stir in 1 tbsp of water to make a rough paste.
- Cut a slit along each date and take out the stone if it has one. Push a small spoonful of the pistachio mixture into each date and close it up gently.
- Melt the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, breaking it up first and stirring until smooth.
- Lay the dates on a plate and drizzle the chocolate over them from a spoon. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
- Cut the peel and pith off the orange and slice it into rounds to serve alongside the dates.
Tip Soft Medjool dates are easiest to stuff; if yours are firm, soak them in hot water for a few minutes and dry them.
