Ingredients
8 pitted prunes, halved lengthwise
¼ cup white wine
¾ pound lean ground beef
¼ pound ground lamb
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup grated feta cheese
8 slices bacon, halved crosswise
Preparation
- Step 1
Combine the prunes and white wine and let stand at least 2 hours.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
