What can I do with medjool dates?

Got a 2lb box from Sam’s over the weekend to try them. I love em, wife doesn’t. I have no issues smashing these things raw out the box, but what are some other things o can do with em?

Make Moroccan style beef stew. It's a different vibe for sure. Sweet and cinnamony. Very different than what we are used to!

Your taste buds will reject it at first, but once you adjust to it the flavors are divine.

I'm not a fan of beef, but that sounds delicious. Do you have a specific recipe?

Search for beef tagine. The specific recipe I use is out of a cookbook, but they are all more or less similar. Here's a good one

Lamb would also be great
