Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make prunes stuffed with walnuts? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Prunes need to be large, pitted, preferably soft. Pre-boil the egg, cool and peel. Divide into white and yolk. For the appetizer you only need the yolk.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the prunes. If the prunes are dry, pour boiling water over them. and let sit for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3
After the time has passed, place the prunes in a colander and let the water drain completely. Then dry it with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, make slits on one side of each prune.

Step 4

Step 4
Grate the cheese on a fine grater. Any cheese is suitable for this dish — hard, semi-hard, soft, such as mozzarella. The main thing is that it is tasty, of high quality, without milk fat substitutes. I use two types of cheese in the recipe. Hard — for stringing on skewers and soft curd for filling.

Dry the walnuts in a dry frying pan, then chop into fine crumbs.
