INGREDIENTS Medjool dates blue cheese thinly sliced pancetta (in strips not rounds, if possible, 1 strip or round per 2 dates)

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the pancetta until just translucent. Let cool enough to handle.
2. Cut a slit in each date, lengthwise, to pull out the pit while

leaving the date as intact as possible. Pull out pit, insert cheese and smush back together to seal the slit you cut.
3. Lay a strip of slightly cooked pancetta on a cutting board,

put the date slit side down and wrap the pancetta around it.
4. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Place the wrapped

date on the cookie sheet so that the slit side is up (for less cheese leakage) and the pancetta stays wrapped. Repeat for each date, I mean it. Anybody want a peanut?
5. Bake for 10 min or until the pancetta is the crispiness that

you like. Serve hot as (six) finger food, with napkins nearby!

AVGOLEMONO SALTSA (EGG-LEMON SAUCE) DOLMATHES

DIRECTIONS 1. Fresh grape leaves are desirable. Scald in groups of 10 leaves for a few minutes in boiling water until they are slightly limp. Rinse and drain. If using canned leaves, blanch and drain.

saucer. Add enough stock to almost cover the dolmathes. Cover and bring to a boil; then lower heat and simmer until done (about 50-60 min.). To test for doneness, remove a dolma and taste to see if rice is fully cooked.
5. To make sauce, beat egg whites until stiff, add egg yolks and

3 egg whites 3 egg yolks 2 fresh lemons juice c. of hot liquid from dolmathes

continue beating. Slowly add lemon juice, then a c. of hot liquid, all the while beating constantly.
