Bacon Wrapped Delights

You can wrap almost anything in bacon and it’ll taste great. Here is a recipe that works great as appetizers or as hors d’oeuvres. This dish can be served plain or accompanied with a hollandaise sauce or orange ponzu sauce.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step: 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the asparagus until it is barely cooked and still crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. When done, plunge the asparagus into ice water to stop the cooking. When cool, trim the asparagus to 8-inch lengths. Wrap a bundle of 6 asparagus spears with six strips of bacon, side by side, securing each slice with a toothpick. The bacon should be wrapped around twice so that there are two layers.

Step: 3

Trim the enoki mushrooms, and separate into 12 pieces. Stuff each enoki piece with four pieces of shiitake. Wrap each bundle with a slice of bacon, wrapping around twice, and secure with a toothpick. Place the bundles on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.

Step: 4

Roast in preheated oven for 6 minutes, then flip the bundles over, and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes, until the bacon is brown and crisp.

Step: 5

To serve, remove all 24 toothpicks, and slice the asparagus bundles between the bacon. Drain on paper towels for a moment before serving.
