BLUE CHEESE BACON DEVILS ON HORSEBACK
Steps:
- Soak the dates in the sherry for 2 hours, making sure they're fully submerged.
- Meanwhile, place the blue cheese in a small zip-top bag, then snip one corner off the bag, leaving about a 1/2-inch opening. Leave at room temperature until ready to fill the dates.
- Heat a toaster oven to 450 degrees F and place a rack in a quarter sheet pan or use the pan that came with your toaster oven, if applicable (see Cook's Note).
- Drain but do not rinse the dates. Use a pair of scissors to open each date lengthwise.
- Pipe roughly 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese into each date, then wrap with a piece of bacon. Place the wrapped dates on the rack, bacon ends down, and gently press to anchor.
- Bake until the bacon is brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a small pan over a low heat, and fry the onion for 10 mins until softened and golden. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Squeeze the sausagemeat from the skins into a bowl, and tip in the fried onions and sage, grate over some nutmeg and season with plenty of black pepper. Use your hands to mix until the ingredients are combined, then divide into 12 portions and roll into balls. Split each prune down the middle lengthways so it can be opened out like a book. Press a sausage ball into the middle of each prune, carefully wrapping the prune around it to encase the stuffing. Wrap a bacon rasher around each stuffed prune, then thread a cocktail stick through the loose ends to secure the bacon. Place the devils on horseback on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to 24 hrs.
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 7. Brush the devils on horseback with the oil and bake for 15-20 mins until the bacon is crisp and golden, and the stuffing is cooked through.

DEVILS ON HORSEBACK
Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey brought this recipe to The Times in 1983, as part of an article about the piquant, pungent savories of the British Isles. During Victorian times, savories were served at the end of the meal, after dessert. But over time these delightfully named foods were more of a snack, or served as part of a lighter lunch or brunch. Traditionally, this savory is grilled by placing the wrapped prunes under a hot broiler, turning as necessary, until the bacon is crisp. This may be done, but they preferred the oven method.

PARSNIP-WRAPPED DEVILS ON HORSEBACK
This vegetarian version of the classic appetizer uses soy sauce, smoked paprika, and smoked almonds to pack so much savory flavor that no one will miss the traditional bacon. Use Gorgonzola dolce if you prefer a more mild blue cheese flavor.

Steps:
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 450°F. Very thinly slice parsnip with a vegetable peeler to create wide, long ribbons.
- Whisk soy sauce, paprika, and 1/4 cup oil in a medium bowl. Add parsnip ribbons, toss to combine, and let sit 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stuff heaping 1/2-teaspoonfuls of cheese into each date. Place 1 almond in the center of each. Wrap parsnip ribbons around each date, using 2 ribbons if necessary to cover middle section of date; reserve soy sauce mixture. Secure ribbons with a toothpick. Arrange dates on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake 5 minutes, then remove toothpicks and brush with soy sauce mixture. Continue to bake until parsnip ribbons are browned and slightly crisped, about 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.
- Do Ahead
- Dates can be assembled 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before baking.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful dates and crispy bacon are essential for the best results.
- Don't overcook the bacon: It should be crispy, but not burnt.
- Pit the dates carefully: Use a sharp knife to avoid tearing the fruit.
- Stuff the dates with the right amount of cheese: You want enough to fill the date without making it too difficult to eat.
- Wrap the dates in bacon tightly: This will help keep the filling in place and prevent it from leaking out.
- Bake the dates at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the bacon and create a delicious, crispy crust.
- Serve the dates warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, when the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
Devils on horseback are a classic appetizer that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving them at a party or as a special treat, devils on horseback are sure to be a hit.
