Those bacon horses doovers

[craigster59]

I'm having a party this weekend and can't find the recipe for the bacon appetizer recipes people have posted. I'm generally pretty lazy when I use the search function, and BACON pops up as much as CHOICH.

Anyway, what is a good bacon wrapped thing a ma bob that all will go home talking about? Any recipe welcome, either oven or grill (containing cheese is also a good thing). TIA.

Scallops, bacon, toothpicks, grill, eat, yum

Wrap something in bacon, stick a toothpick through it and put it on the grill. Bacon-wrapped dog turds would probably taste great, but other stuff might work better. Big ol' scallops, for instance. Or oysters. Or chunks of meat.

[craigster59]

Yeah, I should probably just whip something up of my own devices. The scallop thing sounds good, but someone had "donkey balls" or some bacon, pepper, cheese concoction. I want to really "Wow" them.

had some jalapenos stuffed with sausage and cream chesse, wrapped in bacon on the grill last week. mmm good!

A family friend was in town for a few days and he's a big fishing nut. Caught a good sized skate. Cleaned it and got the good meat. Cut into roughly 1" cubes. Sear the, in a good balsamic and butter for a few minutes, wrap in Bacon, apply a light honey glaze and smoke em.

Supe, HHI94 and Tim T 's suggestions were pretty right on, I'm going with this one:

APOSTLES ON HORSEBACK (BACON-GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH HONEY LIME GLAZE)
Method: Direct Grilling or Smoking
Advance
Preparation:
Category: N/A
Ingredients:
For the marinade:

3/4 cup crisp dry wine, like a New Zealand sauvignon blanc
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon salt

1-1/2 pounds sea scallops
6 ounces thick sliced bacon, preferably honey-smoked and naturally smoked, cut crosswise into strips long enough to wrap the edges of the scallops
Freshly ground black pepper


Other Items Needed:
1-1/2 cups of your favorite wood chips for smoking, soaked in water to cover for 30 minutes, then drained (optional)



Directions:
Make the marinade: Place the wine, lime juice, honey, and salt in a large, non-reactive bowl and whisk until the salt crystals are dissolved.

If youre reading this in New Zealand (or Europe), you can buy and grill your scallops with the roe (the coral colored stuff) intact. In North America youd buy a trimmed scallop. All you need to do is remove and discard the small crescent-shaped muscle on the side of each scallop. Note: this is optional (I call it circumcising the scallop), but it will make the scallop more tender. Stir the scallops into the marinade and marinate for 1 to 2 hours, covered, in the refrigerator.

Drain the scallops well, discarding the marinade.

Wrap each scallop in a strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.

Set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium. Brush and oil the grill grate. If using wood chips, toss them in the coals or place in the smoker box or in a smoke pouch for your gas grill.

Grill the scallops until the bacon is browned and crisp and the scallops are just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side, a minute or two on the edges to crisp the bacon. Total cooking time will be 6 to 10 minutes in all.

Transfer the scallops to a platter or plates or simply serve them hot off the grill.

And Johnco, I think I'm going to try a chorizo/ cheese/ jalapeno combo also. Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll post pics of finished product.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups teriyaki sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
12 ounces fresh chicken livers, halved
1 (4 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and sliced
12 slices bacon, cut in half
1 quart oil for frying

Directions

In a medium bowl, mix together teriyaki sauce, garlic and ginger root. Place chicken livers and water chestnuts in the mixture. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Wrap each half slice of bacon around one chicken liver half and a slice of water chestnut. Secure by skewering with small skewers or toothpicks.
Carefully lower skewered wraps into the hot oil in small batches. Deep fry 3 to 4 minutes, or until bacon is evenly brown and of desired crispness. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

Enough said!!

i tried to eat one that someone put liver inside. almost puked.

Not wrapped in bacon but contains bacon.

Here in the south we will cook grits (stone ground, not instant) Chop bacon mix in. Create a ball of the grits with a small cube of cheese inside and deep fry. MMM.

I would guess that you could substitute polenta for the grits.

Pappadeaux has some of the best there are...

Look here: http://pappaspizza.net/images/dyn/menus/menu_729.pdf

Then go down to the "From the Grill" and the Jumbo Shrimp Brochette.... better than yummy!

[scottmandue]

Mexican restaurants serve this thing...

Butterfly shrimp... stuff with cheese... wrap with bacon... grill or broil until bacon is crispy.

When I go out in a group I will order this... everyone else is ordering taco's and enchilada's... when the food shows up everyone is WTF did you order!?!

If it is a big group I will order two because I always end up giving half of them away.

I had these about a month ago and they were AMAZING! They're very rich and delicious.

Those are the ones I was looking for, thanks Ian! I'm going to use some chorizo in those and also make the "apostles on horseback".

Was going to make sliders, but I think I will buy some pork loins, slice into medallions, pound, bread and fry and make mini schnitzel sandwiches topped with lettuce and tomato. I'll post some pictures on Sunday.
