Lemon Date Bars
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 1 C raw unsalted almonds
- ½ C raw walnuts or more almonds instead
- 12 oz pitted dates about 2 cups
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- Place the nuts in a food processor and pulse just until they are chopped up evenly.
- Add the dates and grate in the lemon zest with a fine grater or microplane. Juice the lemon and add to the mix.
- Pulse and blend until the dates and nuts appear to be thoroughly chopped and combined.
- Line an 8×8 pan with wax paper or plastic wrap. Press the date paste evenly into the pan. Cover with wax paper or plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes, but a couple of hours is best.
- Remove from the fridge and dump the large bar onto a cutting board. Cut into 2-3 inch slices. Store in an airtight container, separating the bars using wax or parchment paper.
Notes
To store: Keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks or in the freezer for a few months.
