Assemble the Dish
- Push the pit out of each date, expand the hole with your finger.
- Stuff each date with 1 teaspoon of the goat cheese mixture. Top with the remaining pistachios mixture.
- Place the dates on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Place them close together, so they remain with the stuffed side facing up.
- Preheat a smoker over medium low.
- Place the dates in the smoker for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is slightly warm and the dates have a light smoky flavour.
