Devils on Horseback image

Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey brought this recipe to The Times in 1983, as part of an article about the piquant, pungent savories of the British Isles. During Victorian times, savories were served at the end of the meal, after dessert. But over time these delightfully named foods were more of a snack, or served as part of a lighter lunch or brunch. Traditionally, this savory is grilled by placing the wrapped prunes under a hot broiler, turning as necessary, until the bacon is crisp. This may be done, but they preferred the oven method.

Time 15m

Yield 16 devils on horseback

Number Of Ingredients 4

16 pitted prunes
About 2 tablespoons hot chutney
8 slices lean bacon
16 rectangles buttered toast (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to high (500 to 525 degrees).
  • Stuff each prune with an equal portion of hot chutney.
  • Cut each slice of bacon crosswise in half. Wrap each prune with half a slice of bacon and secure the bacon with toothpicks. Arrange the wrapped prunes on a rack and place in the oven. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until bacon is crisp. Drain on paper towels and serve hot, each prune on a rectangle of toast.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but mine didn't turn out as good as the picture. They were still tasty, though.

These were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of goat cheese, but I still enjoyed these. The bacon and dates were a great combination.

These were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts for pecans. They were still delicious!

These were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of cheese next time.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I loved these! The bacon and cheese balanced out the sweetness perfectly.
