delicious Spanish tapas

Cut the dates into small cubes and place them in a bowl with the rice, ground meat, egg, and toasted almonds. Add the lemon zest and mustard, salt, and pepper, and mix well. With wet hands, form small, bite-sized dumplings. If you like, you can bread them; I always do half and half. Fry in oil for 10 to 15 minutes, turning all over.
