Iraqi Food: Date and sesame balls

With Iraq being one of the world's largest date producers, this is one of the many common Iraqi snacks, using dates as the central ingredient. These are often ate with a cup of tea.

Ingredients:

Dates
Sesame seeds
Walnuts

Preparation:

Remove the seed from each date and mix flesh to a pure.
Take some of the sesame seeds and grind them to a course powder. Then take a small scoop of the date flesh, flatten it into approximate 5 cm diameter circle and dip each side in the ground sesame seeds. Then place 2 half pieces of walnut in the middle and close the date circle around the walnut to make a ball. Roll in the whole sesame seeds and there you have it.
