Instructions: Select 2 dozen of the fattest, firmest medjool dates you can find. Slit them down one side and remove the pit.

Mix the marzipan with the food coloring in a small bowl; the color should be a dark, not pastel, green. Stuff each date with marzipan, allowing some to show through the slit.

Arrange the dates on a platter and serve.

This recipe yields 24 dates.

Yield: 24 stuffed dates
