Polish Fig And Bacon Appetizer Figs Pigs
I had this in an upscale polish restaurant in santa monica. This is my version of what was served. I have served this to various parties, even people who claims not to like figs loved it.
Steps
Soak figs in hot water for 15 minutes , or until hydrated and soft.
Trim fat from bacon , so only 1 / 3 or less of the bacon is fat.
Bake or fry bacon until half done , edges curl but still soft.
Drain bacon on paper towel.
Wrap each fig with bacon and secure with toothpick.
Broil assembled appetizers in oven , until bacon is crispy , about 5 to 10 minutes.
Watch it , so bacon does not burn.
Serve as an appetizer with red wine.
The coombination of sweet jammy center with crispy salty bacon is a crowd pleaser.
Ingredients
dried black figs, bacon, toothpicks
