Deep Fried Date-Filled Won Tons




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




8 oz pitted dates, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped almonds, cashews, or walnuts
1 Tbs orange juice, or more if needed
1 tsp Chinese five spice powder
The zest if 1 lemon, finely grated
48 won ton wrappers
Oil for deep frying
Powdered (confectioner's) sugar for dusting (optional)
Ground cinnamon for dusting (optional)


Recipe



Mix together the chopped dates, nuts, orange juice, five spice powder, and lemon zest, adding more orange juice if necessary to make the mixture moist enough to hold together. Form the date mixture into small cylinders about 1/4 inch wide and 1/2 inch long.

Place the date rolls diagonally on the won ton wrappers and roll up into a tube. Twist the ends of the tube, forming a shape like a Christmas cracker. Heat the oil to a temperature of 350F and fry in batches of 6 to 8 at a time, turning as necessary, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar and/or cinnamon if desired.

Makes 48 fritters to serve 8 to 10.
