Tapas: Bacon Wrapped Dates and Sweet Red Bell Pepper Sauce, This recipe was inspired by one of our favorite tapas dishes It’s just like we like remember it from our first date some 13 years ago I incorporated 2 Zaar recipes to create this clone All of this can be made ahead and warmed in the microwave before serving The Sweet Red Bell pepper sauce really make this dish amazing! Thanks go out to go to: Julesong’s Recipe#27425 and cflethcher’s Recipe#140057 UPDATE: 11/2013 The restaurant uses applewood smoked bacon and roasted red pepper butter sauce so I will be trying these 2 latest additions and reporting back, These tapas are deliciosas , This is AMAZING! I also had bacon wrapped dates with a similar sauce at a Tapas restaurant and and have been wanting to know how to make them for years! Bacon wrapped dates are awesome just by them self (and so simple, just the 2 ingredients is all you need) but this red pepper sauce is amazing as well I think it would be really nice though to grill the peppers on a charcoal grill to get a smoky flavor Parmesean or manchego cheese would be a good addition too I usually bake mine in my broiler pan I set them in the groove so the excess fat can drip away I make bacon wrapped dates for my Christmas party every year (without the sauce) and they go really fast! I was a little skeptical before I first tried bacon wrapped dates It might sound weird but, TRY IT, it is sooooo delicious
