    Title: Fritos De Datiles Y Chorizo (Chorizo Filled Dates In Baco
    Categories: Pork, Spanish, Tapas
    Yield: 6 Servings

    2 oz Chorizo sausage
    12 Dried dates; pitted
    3 sl Bacon; cut in quarters
    -crosswise
    1 Egg; lightly beaten
    1 ts Water
    Flour; for dusting
    Oil; for frying

    The only chorizo I could find came in a plastic casing and was not in
    the least firm enough to slice so I just removed the casing and fried
    off the chorizo and drained off the fat, then stuffed the dates. I
    would lay out a slice of bacon and run the back of a knife along it
    lengthwise to flatten and stretch it a little, one slice of bacon
    wrapped only two dates.

    Cut off the ends of the chorizo and slice the sausage crosswise into 3
    equal pieces, about 3/4" each in length (remove the skin if it is
    tough) Cut each of these pieces in half lengthwise and in half again,
    to make a total of 12 "sticks" (If your chorizo is thick, these
    pieces may be to large for the dates, in which case cut in half
    again) Insert each chorizo piece into a date and close the date
    around it. Wrap a strip of bacon around each date. Secure, if
    necessary, with a toothpick. (May be prepared ahead)

    Place the wrapped dates in a skillet with the seam side of the bacon
    down and saute until the bacon is golden. Turn and brown on the other
    side. Drain on paper towels. You may now serve the dates, or proceed
    to coat and fry them. If you are continuing, this step may also be
    done in advance.

    Wipe out the skillet, then heat the oil at least 1/2" deep to about
    380°F. Dust the dates with flour, then dip them into the egg and
    immediately into the hot oil. Fry until golden, turning once. Or
    better, use a deep-fryer. Drain and serve right away.
