Sweet and salty – always a winning combination. For tapas too :)
This is a really easy to make tapa. Two steps and you are basically done – wrapping and frying ;) The result is delicious. I mean everything wrapped in bacon is delicious! :P
Dates wrapped in bacon are more common in Spain – but I also like the version with the plums, so I made them too. I also read about dried apricots wrapped in bacon – guess that works too. I repeat myself here – but basically everything wrapped in bacon turns out delicious! ;)
¡Buen provecho!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
10 dried plums
10 slices bacon
olive oil
2 tbsp. honey
10 getrocknete Pflaumen
10 Scheiben Frühstücksspeck
Olivenöl
2 EL Honig
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. In a fying pan heat up some olive oil and add the wrapped dates and plums – the open side of the bacon stripe should face down – that should help to keep the bacon sticking to the dates and plums. If not, you shoult use toothpicks to keep everything in place. Fry on all sides until the bacon gets a nice color and the fat is almost vanished. Reduce the heat and drizzle the honey over the dates and plums, mix carefully and let fry for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl/plate and serve warm.
2. Etwas Olivenöl in einer Pfanne erzitzen. Die eingewickelten Datteln und Pflaumen mit der Seite, auf der der Bacon überlappt, nach Unten in die Pfanne legen und anbraten. Das sollte helfen, dass der Bacon um die Datteln und Pflaumen gewickelt bleibt – ggf. mit Zahstochern nachhelfen. Von allen Seiten rundum schön anbraten – das Fett des Bacons sollte fast verschwunden sein. Hitzezufuhr verringern, den Honig zugeben und alles vorsichtig vermischen. Weitere 1-2 Minuten brutzeln lassen und dann in eine Schüssel geben und warm servieren.
