Tapas, anyone?

[klwilliams]

I've been invited to a tapas potluck weekend after next, and I've decided to appeal to the group mind. Do any of you have an easy tapas recipe that will still taste good after an hour's drive? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Almond Stuffed Hot Dates

[kahnegabs.livejournal.com]

Sweets usually travel well. Cook the bacon and package separately. Wrap it when you arrive. Put them in the oven at the hosts house for a few minutes.

Ingredients
24 pitted large medjool dates
12 slices bacon cut crosswise (about 12 ounces)
24 whole toasted almonds
1 package of goat cheese
Fresh pepper to taste
Toothpicks

Directions
1) Heat oven to 500 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil

2) Put about 2 ounces of soft goat cheese into a large tipped pastry bag and pipe enough cheese to fill the dates cavity halfway. Finish stuffing the date with an almond. Wrap each date with one of the halves of bacon and secure with a toothpick

3) Put on a baking sheet seam side down. Sprinkle with ground fresh pepper to taste

4) Bake until the bacon is warm again and cheese is melty. Serve.
