Spicy Sizzled Dated with Black Sesame

I tossed roasted brussels sprouts with the spicy sizzled dates

Dates give a great textural difference to whatever veg you decide to toss it with and the black sesame brings a nice savouriness.

Tip: This sizzle goes great with any dishes you want textural difference in- I used them with roasted brussels sprouts, but they would work with green beans, broccoli, Cavolo nero…

Makes enough for 450g of roasted veg

70g Pitted Dates, thinly sliced
