Five minutes, no heat, and roughly the most calories per gram of anything here, which on a long walking day is the entire point.
- Spread the oatcakes thickly with peanut butter.
- Chop the dates small and press them into it.
- Sesame seeds scattered over, a few grains of salt.
Toasting the sesame first is worth the two minutes if a pan is already hot for something else. Untoasted they are texture without flavour.
The salt matters. Peanut butter and dates together are flatly sweet without it, and a few grains is the difference.
