ESSENCE OF EMERIL SHOW#EE86

Heat oil in a wok or deep fryer to 360 degrees F. Combine dates, walnuts,
orange zest and juice. Lay out wonton wrappers with a point facing you, top
with a small spoonful of date mixture and roll away from you into a tight
cylinder; it will look like a little cigarette. Fry, in batches if
necessary, until golden; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper
towels. Let cool slightly and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Yield: 8 pieces
