Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground chuck
  • 2 tablespoon grated shallot
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 ⁄2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 ⁄2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 ⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ⁄8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • 24 Medjool dates
  • 12 slices beef fry sliced in half lengthwise (I used thin slices of pastrami)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine meat, shallot, garlic, parsley, spices, and pine nuts. Form the mixture into torpedo-shaped logs, each about 1 heaping tablespoon.
  • Slice open dates lengthwise, making sure not to cut all the way through. Discard pits.
  • Stuff dates with meat mixture. Wrap each date with a strip of beef fry; place on a rack set over a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
