Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the prunes and white wine and let stand at least 2 hours.

  2. Step 2

    Gently combine the ground beef, lamb, salt, pepper, cilantro and feta. Divide into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into an oval, about 2 ½ inches long by 1 ½ inches wide.

  3. Step 3

    Drain the prunes and press 1 piece of prune into the center of each oval shape. Mold the meat mixture around the prunes. Wrap a piece of bacon around each oval and secure with a toothpick.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Place the ovals in the skillet and cook, turning them as necessary to brown the bacon and cook the other meat through, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.
