Low-fat Raw Fakon Wrapped Stuffed Dates (not dehydrated)

10 thin slices of eggplant, skin removed
10 medjool dates
 2 blood oranges, juiced
10 little cubes of fresh ginger
10 toothpicks

Peel eggplant with potato peeler.  Use potato peeler to get thin slices from the outside.  Work your way around and avoid the seeds.  Blend dates and orange juice in a bowl.  Add eggplant slices.  Let marinate for one hour.  The blood orange juice will make it reddish like bacon.  :-o  Gently open date and remove pit.  Replace with one almond or walnut piece.

After 1 hr., pour eggplant slices into wire mesh sieve and drain.  Wrap dates with slices.  Put toothpick into it.
