Warm Dates with Olive Oil, Sea Salt & Lemon Zest

Warm Dates with Olive Oil, Sea Salt & Lemon Zest

by Dishing Up the Dirt

Prep Time: 5 minutes  |  Cook Time: 5 minutes  |  Serves: 4-6

• extra virgin olive oil
• 12 dried dates (un-pitted) see note
• flakey sea salt
• lemon zest

1. Heat about 1/4 of an inch of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the dates in a single layer and cook, stirring often, until the dates are warmed through and soft, about 5 minutes (be careful not to burn the dates–this can happen quickly so don’t take your eyes off of them!)
2. Serve the dates on a plate with a sprinkling of flakey sea salt, a pinch of lemon zest and a drizzle of the hot oil.
