DATES STUFFED WITH HAZELNUTS AND CHOCOLATE
This recipe from chef Matthew Pope of Zelda's Sweet Shoppe in Skokie makes a perfect "new fruit" dish for the second night of Rosh Hashanah. Tradition calls for eating seasonal fruits during the Jewish new year. But, as the old commercial said, you don't have to be Jewish to love these. You will have extra hazelnut paste, if you have been able to resist eating it while you stuff the dates.

Steps:
- First, make the hazel nut paste by combining the 1 3/4 cup chopped hazelnuts, egg whites, confectioners' sugar and hazelnut liqueur (optional) in a food processor to form a paste (Mixture can be refrigerated, covered, up to 2 weeks).
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet; toast in oven until lightly browned, 3-5 minutes, watching closely so they don't burn. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, slice each date on one side to form a pocket; set aside.
- Mix 1/3 cup hazelnut paste and chocolate in a bowl; spoon the hazelnut/chocolate mixture into each date. Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts over the filling.
- Serve or refrigerate up to 1 week.
