Here you go... another round of food that I prepared for Oasis last night. The biggest hit was the hot artichoke dip (it was gone when everyone left)!! I will have to make it again... super easy. The hardest part was draining out the spinach.
Roasted Almond and Date Spread
1/2 cup unsalted roasted almonds (can substitute pecans or walnuts)
1 (8-ounce) package pitted dates
1/4 cup Madeira or dry sherry
Zest of 1 orange
In food processor, combine almonds, dates, Madeira and orange zest.
Pulse until the almonds are finely ground and mixture is almost smooth.
This spread can be covered and refrigerated for up to one week. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Serve with cheese and breads.
