Pan-Fried Dates with Cardamom Yogurt

Serves/Yield 6

Preparation Time: 5 min
Cooking Time: 2 min

A simple ending to a wonderful meal. The crunch and colour of the pistachios make it extra special Medjool dates are rich in natural sugars, fibre and several vitamins and minerals. Fats and oils like canola oil aid in the absorption of fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Ingredients

1 cup plain 0% Greek yogurt 250 mL
3/4 tsp ground cardamom or cinnamon 4 mL
1 tbsp canola oil 15 mL
12 medjool dates, pitted 12
1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional) 50 mL

Instructions

Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt and cardamom. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2
In a small nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add dates and panfry for about 2 minutes, turning to blister dates (become golden) and heat through.

Step 3
Divide yogurt among 6 dessert plates and top each with 2 dates. Sprinkle with pistachios to serve.

Tips

Canola oil is low in saturated fat, a source of plant-based omega-3 fat and also contains vitamin E an antioxidant, and vitamin K which is needed for normal blood clotting.
