Categories     Holiday Appetizer     Holiday-Party-Game Day Appetizer

Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 19

24 livers Chicken Livers
Bacon - Thin Strips (Cut in half lengthwise )
1 cup Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
½ Tablespoon Minced Ginger
1 teaspoon Chopped Garlic
24 sliced Water ChestNuts
Daikon Radish (Sliced)
Beef Tenderloin (cubed)
Cantaloupe (cubed)
Honeydew Melon (cubed)
Dates (whole)
Pickled Watermelon (cubed)
pinch Cayenne Pepper (optional)
1 cup Teriyaki Sauce
1 cup Hoisin Sauce
1 cup Grape Jelly w/ Chipotle in Adobo Sauce
1 cup BBQ Sauce
1 cup Maple Syrup

Steps:

  • Clean/remove as much excess from the livers as possible while keeping the livers as "Large" as possible.
  • Cutaway pieces that do not look like something you'd like to eat. Use a small knife and make small cuts where needed trying to keep the liver in tactic.
  • Combine the soy sauce, chopped garlic, brown sugar, and chopped ginger into a large bowl.Add the livers to the marinate. Place into the refrigerator for one hour.
  • Slice the bacon in half lengthwise. You do not want to use too much bacon or the cooking time will be longer. Which risks overcooking the livers or beef, or chicken.Cutting the bacon strips in half will make it easy to wrap each chicken liver tightly.
  • Lay one piece of bacon flat on a cutting board. Take a slice of water chestnut and place it at one end of the bacon strip. Add a piece of liver on top of the water chestnut. Tip: Add small slices of jalapeno
  • Next, roll the bacon starting at the end with the liver and roll the bacon on top of itself. No rules on how you wrap. Another option is wrapping the bacon in circles all around the liver.Secure with toothpicks
  • Place the rumaki on a cookie sheet. Or, I like using a wire rack so the rumaki isn't touching the cookie sheet. It helps crisp things up nicely.Bake @ 375 for 15 to 20 minutes
  • Add the glaze of choice after cooking. Use a paintbrush or spoon to cover.
  • Then place the rumaki back into the oven for 3 to 5 minutes to set the glaze.

A fantastic flavor of smoky (the bacon), spicy (the chorizo), and the sweetness of dates. My family are not big dried fruit fans, but everyone loved this!

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Meat and Poultry

Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 chorizo sausage link
12 pitted dates
3 slices bacon, cut into fourths
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon water
¼ cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Cut the ends off of the chorizo, and cut into 12 cubes. Stuff each piece inside one of the dates. Wrap a piece of bacon around each date, and secure with toothpicks. This part may all be done ahead of time.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the dates in the pan with the bacon seam side down. Fry until golden, then turn and fry on the other side until bacon is cooked through. You may serve them now, or proceed to coat and fry them.
  • Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F 190 degrees C. Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl. Coat the dates with flour, then dip into the egg. Place immediately into the hot oil, and fry until golden, turning once. This will take about 4 minutes total. Drain and serve right away.

Tips:

  • Select High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, flavorful chorizo, ripe dates, and crispy bacon. Using premium ingredients elevates the overall taste of your Rumaki.
  • Control the Heat: Cook the chorizo and bacon over medium heat to prevent burning. This ensures even cooking and allows the flavors to develop without overpowering the other ingredients.
  • Stuff the Dates Carefully: Use a small spoon or your fingers to gently stuff the dates with the chorizo mixture. Be careful not to overfill the dates, as they might burst during cooking.
  • Bake UntilCrispy: Bake the Rumaki in a preheated oven until the bacon is crispy and the dates are slightly caramelized. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
  • Garnish Elegantly: Before serving, garnish the Rumaki with chopped parsley, cilantro, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
