Our Disclaimer (The serious stuff)

By using our free meal planner (and the rest of spoonacular.com) you have to agree that you and only you are responsible for anything that happens to you because of something you have read on this site or have bought/cooked/eaten because of this site. After all, the only person who controls what you put in your mouth is you, right?

Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

One serving contains 278 calories, 8g of protein, and 18g of fat. 1 person were impressed by this recipe. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 45 minutes. It is brought to you by Foodista. A mixture of medjool dates, hardwood bacon, romesco sauce, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious. Only a few people really liked this European dish. With a spoonacular score of 16%, this dish is rather bad. Bacon-Wrapped Dates with Chorizo and Manchego, Manchego-Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon (Tapas), and Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with Romesco Sauce are very similar to this recipe.

Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Bacon Wrapped Dates. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Gosset Celebris Extra Brut rosé with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 215 dollars per bottle.

Gosset Celebris Extra Brut Rose

This cuvee is designed to appeal to the most discerning palate and,more generally, anyone looking for a touch of romance in their apéritif. Its freshness, with notes of red fruit (strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant), provides a smooth, comfortable sensation that lingers with hints of pink grapefruit.This champagne can be served as an accompaniment to carefullychosen dishes such as salmon, a strawberry and tomato gazpacho with basil, or panfriedscampi.

Repeat with remaining dates. Grind fresh black pepper on top of bacon wrapped dates & bake until the bacon is crisp 20 to 30 minutes. Serve with Romesco sauce or honey drizzled over the top.
