Goat Cheese and Pistachio Stuffed Dates

4 ounces soft goat cheese (easier if cheese is at room temperature)
3 T shelled, salted pistachios, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 T finely chopped fresh chives
freshly ground pepper
8 Medjool dates, pitted and havled lengthwise

In a small bowl, combine cheese, 2 T pistachios, and 1 T chives until smooth. Season with pepper. Pipe (or use a teaspoon) goat cheese mixture into each date half to cover. Garnish dates with remaining pistachios and more chives
