Ingredients: • 2 cups dates • ½ cup each of almonds, pistachios, cashews, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds • A little butter • Sesame seeds for coating (optional) Method: 1. Remove the pits from the dates and chop them into small pieces. If they are firm, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry. 2. Dry-roast the almonds, pistachios, cashews, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds in a pan over low to medium heat for 4–6 minutes, stirring often. Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. 3. Coarsely grind the cooled nuts and seeds in a food processor, leaving a little texture. 4. Melt a small amount of butter in the same pan. Add the chopped dates and cook over low heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring until they soften and form a sticky mixture. 5. Add the ground nuts and seeds. Mix and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until everything is well combined and the mixture pulls away from the pan. 6. Transfer the mixture to a plate and let it cool until comfortable to handle, about 10–15 minutes. 7. Grease your hands lightly with butter. Shape the mixture into one or two firm logs. Roll the logs in sesame seeds, if using. 8. Wrap the logs in parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30–45 minutes, or until firm. 9. Slice into rounds with a sharp knife and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. #datesnutsrolls #healthysnacks #noaddedsugar #diwalisweets #dryfruitrolls #preworkoutsnack
