Ingredients
Pitted dates, 500 g
Cashew nuts, 1 cup
Almonds, 1 cup
Pistachio, 1/2 cup
Butter or ghee or oil, 2 tsp
Preparation
1. Cut dates into small pieces using a knife.
2. Put dates in a heavy based pot on medium heat and add butter.
3. While heating, press dates with a potato masher.
4. In 5-10 minutes, the dates will breakdown, become smooth and form a clump. At this point, remove from heat.
5. Add all the nuts and mix thoroughly.
6. Divide mixture into three parts. Take the first part in your hands and shape into a ball and then roll into a long roll, about 2cm in diameter. Repeat for the other two parts of the mixture.
7. Wrap each roll in glad wrap and put into fridge for at least half an hour.
8.Take out of fridge and unwarp; cut into 5 mm thick pieces using a sharp knife and serve.
