Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Two 8-ounce cans whole water chestnuts, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
14 slices bacon, cut crosswise into thirds
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup firmly-packed dark brown sugar1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Nonstick cooking spray
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the water chestnuts and soy sauce in a resealable plastic bag and let marinate at room temperature, tossing and massaging the bag occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap each water chestnut in a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Set a cooling rack into a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts on top. Bake until the bacon renders its fat and is crisp, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and 1/3 cup water in a bowl to make a sauce.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully lift the cooling rack off the baking sheet. Drain away any fat in the baking sheet and wipe dry with paper towels. Line the baking sheet with foil and lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Carefully transfer the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts to the bowl with the sauce, swirling to fully coat, then spread out on the baking sheet.
  • Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake, tossing every few minutes, until the sauce is reduced to a sticky glaze, about 15 minutes. Immediately transfer the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle with pepper and serve while hot.

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

50g unsalted butter (aout 4 tablespoons)
2 small brown onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
100g (3 ½ oz) rindless bacon, finely chopped
1⁄3 cup (80ml) dry sherry, plus 1 tablespoon extra
8 soft fresh dates (160g), pitted and chopped
1 (240g) can cooked chestnuts+, chopped
1⁄4 cup (35g) slivered almonds, toasted and chopped
3 cups (210g) fresh breadcrumbs
1⁄4 cup each finely chopped sage and flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon each sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper
24 thin slices streaky bacon
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Melt the butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and bacon and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes or until soft. Add the sherry and dates and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl and add the chestnuts, almonds, breadcrumbs, sage, parsley, lemon rind, egg, salt and pepper. Mix to combine and set aside.
  • Cut 2 large pieces of aluminum foil and 2 large pieces of non-stick parchment baking paper. Lay 1 piece of foil on a flat surface and top with 1 sheet of baking paper. Arrange 12 of the bacon slices, overlapping slightly, on the paper. Place half the stuffing along one edge of the bacon and shape into a log. Using the foil and paper to help you, roll the bacon to enclose the stuffing, wrapping to secure. Repeat with the remaining foil, baking paper, bacon and stuffing. Place the rolls on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes.
  • Place the extra sherry and honey in a small bowl and mix to combine. Remove the rolls from the foil and paper and return to the tray. Brush with the honey glaze and roast for a further 20 minutes or until crisp. Slice to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your rolls will taste. Look for bacon that is bright red and not too fatty, water chestnuts that are firm and crisp, and green onions that are fresh and green.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the bacon. This will help you get even slices that will cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the bacon. Bacon is best when it is cooked until it is just crispy. If you overcook it, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels before using it in the rolls. This will help to remove excess grease.
  • Chop the water chestnuts finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the rolls.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the filling. Overmixing will make the filling tough.
  • Be careful not to overfill the rolls. If you do, they will be difficult to seal and the filling may leak out.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Bacon water chestnut rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they are also great for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your bacon water chestnut rolls are perfect every time.
