While my bofreind was tucking into his breakfast on Saturday , bacon, egg and black-pudding, I was pondering what to do with any leftovers from the pack of bacon
In a blinding flash I remembered that my mum often cooks prunes wrapped in bacon and we had some prunes leftover from the Lamb slow cooked with prunes dish a few weeks back. The combination of sweet & saltiness is delicious. So I made some for Sunday brunch accompanied by skewers of scallops and black pudding for good measure.
The wrapped prunes make a luxiourous brunch but also make excellent canapes hot or cold .
Prunes in blankets
6 sprigs of rosemary
6 large prunes
3 rashers of smoked bacon
- Cut each rasher of bacon in half
- On each half place at one end a prune and a spring of rosemary
- Roll the prune/rosemary into the bacon
- Grill for approx 5 minutes turning halfway through
Scallop and Black Pudding Skewers
6 scallops
6 discs of black pudding ( roughly the same diameter as the scallops , 1/2cm thick )
6 stems of woody rosemay
- Season the scallop and black pudding with pepper brush with oil
- Skewer scallops and blackpudding through the centre with woody stalk of rosemary
- Grill for 2 minutes
- Serve with a spalsh of balsamic vinegar
What a cute and interesting idea! I’m not usually a fan of prunes, but with the bacon and rosemary I’d definitely give it a try!
Nice one!
The same method but with Banana (instead of prunes) is also awesome =)
