Date Snack

I bought some roasted chickpeas, I ate some of them and the rest has been on the shelf for couple of months. Then I realized I needed to find some other way to eat them and decided to mix them with dates. The good part of this recipe is you don't necessarily need chickpeas or dates, you can use any kind of nuts and dried fruit such as prunes, apricots or figs.

Ingredients

• 10 dates
• 100gr roasted chickpeas
• 1 tablespoon tahini
• 1 oz raisins
• Any kind of nut-I used couple of hazelnuts, some almonds and 3-4 walnuts

Preparation

Take out the seeds of the dates and put them in the water around one hour. I did not have food processor so I crushed the chickpeas and nuts in a mortar and pestle. I chopped the dates and raisins on the cutting board and mixed them all. If you want to use food processor, put tahini first add some water, when it got mixed add dates ad raisins and grind them together. Lastly add nuts and chickpeas and grind them altogether. Take out from the processor and put it on a parchment paper, cover up with stretch film and make it square with the help of a rolling pin. Bake it around 8 hours in the lowest heat like 150F until it gets dry. I only baked for 4 hours, it is still good.If you don't wan to bake it, just keep it in the fridge.
