RUMAKI



Rumaki image

Rumaki first became popular during the "Tiki Bar" era of the mid-20th century -- a trend that managed to stick around for decades, because trends used to be able to do that. Nowadays food trends can last for mere hours, but with enough support we can bring rumaki back into the spotlight for weeks, or maybe even months! After all, a dish that's this good is never really out of style.

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/4 cup sesame oil
One 15-ounce can pineapple chunks, drained and 1/3 cup juice reserved
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
One 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
One 8-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 1/2 pounds sliced bacon (approximately 20 slices)
4 ounces chicken livers (approximately 20)
1/4 cup turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, canola oil, sesame oil, reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, black pepper, garlic and grated ginger in a bowl. Add the water chestnuts and marinate for 2 hours at room temperature.
  • Cut the pineapple chunks in half and set aside. Cut the bacon strips in half and set aside. Cut the chicken livers into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside.
  • To assemble: Lay out a half strip of bacon. Put a slice of pineapple at one end, topped by a slice of water chestnut and a piece of chicken liver. Roll up the bacon and seal with a toothpick. Repeat until all the ingredients are used.
  • Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan and brush with the marinade. Bake, brushing with marinade every 10 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the livers are just cooked but still slightly pink, 35 to 40 minutes. The last 10 minutes, brush with the marinade and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.

Time 1h40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup teriyaki sauce, plus additional for basting
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 pound chicken livers, trimmed, rinsed and cut into 24 (1/2-inch) pieces
12 canned whole water chestnuts, drained and halved
12 slices bacon, halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Stir together the teriyaki sauce and garlic in a medium bowl, then add the livers and water chestnuts. Toss to coat. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Soak 24 toothpicks in cold water for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the boiler. Remove the livers and water chestnuts from the marinade and discard the marinade. Lay 1 bacon half on a cutting board and place 1 piece of liver and 1 water chestnut in the center. Fold one side of the bacon over them, and thread a toothpick through the bacon, then the chestnut and liver. Wrap the remaining bacon edge around this parcel and secure on the toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 24 rumaki.
  • Broil the rumaki on a rack set over a baking sheet (covered with aluminum foil for easy clean up) 2 inches from the heat for 4 minutes. Flip them over and broil for 2 minutes more. Brush the rumaki with additional teriyaki sauce and return to the broiler for 2 more minutes. Place on a serving tray and serve immediately.

TENDER BAKED CHICKEN LIVER RUMAKI



Tender Baked Chicken Liver Rumaki image

This version of these popular little hors d'oeuvres was shared with me by Chef Claude of the Pinetop Country Club chef, here in Arizona. He bakes his rumaki which leaves them still soft and moist when fully cooked rather than a hard, dry lump. My husband and I love this version and can make a meal of them! Since these marinate, you must start them early. Marinating time is not included in the preparation time.

Categories     Chicken Livers

Time 1h15m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb chicken liver
1 lb bacon (your favorite)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Bourbon (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash and trim chicken livers; cut each in half. Cut bacon strips in half and precook strips halfway. This is important since otherwise they would not finish cooking in a timely manner when baked. Be sure not to cook the bacon till it is crispy or it will not wrap around the livers properly.
  • Wrap one bacon strip around each liver half. Some people also include a water chestnut half with the liver, but I do not.
  • Fasten bacon around liver with a toothpick.
  • In a bowl or large plastic storage bag, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar and bourbon, if used. Add the prepared rumaki and cover the bowl or seal the bag. Allow to marinate for 6 to 8 hours or two hours at the least. Drain well.
  • Arrange rumaki on a baking sheet with sides. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1/2 hour or until cooked as desired.

Tips:

  • Buy high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for plump, juicy chicken livers, sea scallops that are firm and white, and bacon that is thick and smoky.
  • Soak the chicken livers in milk: This will help to remove any bitterness from the livers and make them more tender.
  • Cook the chicken livers and sea scallops quickly: Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery. Cook the chicken livers for 2-3 minutes per side, and the sea scallops for 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to infuse the chicken livers and sea scallops with flavor. Choose a marinade that you like the taste of, such as a teriyaki marinade, a honey-mustard marinade, or a garlic-herb marinade.
  • Serve the chicken livers and sea scallops immediately: They are best served hot and fresh. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill.

Conclusion:

Rumaki is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be made with a variety of ingredients. Chicken livers, sea scallops, and bacon are all popular choices, but you can also use other ingredients, such as shrimp, mushrooms, or vegetables. Rumaki is easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. It is a great appetizer for parties or special occasions.
