Preparation – 5 minutes

Remove the pits from the dates and slice one side half open. Add a little bit of sauerkraut to the centre. The reason you shouldn't use pitted dates is that most of the flavour and texture are retained when the pit is still in the fruit.

Preheat the oven to a temperature of 175 degrees Celsius.

Wrap a date with 1 or more slices of bacon, then poke a wooden skewer through it to prevent the bacon from falling off the date while baking.

Repeat this step for the remaining dates.
