Soak the dates in water or wine.<\/p>\n<p>Once marinated, transfer the meat to a dish with the marinade and cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil. Roast in the oven at 320\u00b0F\/160\u00b0C for 2 1\/2 hours. Remove the lid and continue to cook for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted can easily twist. Remove the dish from the oven and let rest while you prepare the sauce. Reserve 1 cup of marinade with drippings. <\/p>\n<p>Drain the dates and grind or puree them into a smooth paste. Add them to a small saucepan with the cup of marinade\/drippings. Whisk in the olive oil, garum, and vinegar then heat over a low flame until simmering. In a separate bowl whisk the starch into the wine until fully dissolved, then add it to the simmering sauce and allow to return to a simmer. Let it thicken for 10 &#8211; 15 minutes, then serve over the meat immediately. <\/p>\n<p>**Some of the links and other products that appear on this video are from companies which Tasting History will earn an affiliate commission or referral bonus.
