toast the almonds for 10 min at 350. this will bring out their flavour. pit the date and put the almond in the date. wrap half a piece of thin bacon (thick won't work!) around it. bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
meanwhile make the green olive sauce. saute 2 shallots with 1 minced dried red chili. cook on low heat for about 8 min. put into a food processor with one jar of spanish olives, a small bunch of parsley, 2 T sherry vinegar, and 1/2 cup olive oil. blend.
put in a pretty jar and when the dates are ready- you can dip them in it. you'll have plenty so I warmed up some herb focaccia from the market and served this as well. delicious.
