These moreish bites are just as good without the prosciutto if you want to serve them as a vegetarian option.

12 Medjool dates
12 flat-leaf parsley sprigs
100g reduced fat feta, sliced 1cm thick
6 thin slices prosciutto, halved lengthways
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2.

Cut a slit along the top of each date, then remove and discard the seed. Tuck a parsley sprig and feta slice into each date and gently squeeze closed. Wrap a prosciutto strip around each date, and tie off with a knot, trimming the ends so they sit upright.
3.

Place dates on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and bake for 5-8 minutes until warmed through. Spear each one with a knotted bamboo skewer, then serve.
