Bacon Wrapped Delights

Ingredients

  • Servings: 24
  • 12 spears asparagus
  • 4 ounces enoki mushrooms
  • 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 24 slices bacon

Recipe

    Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 40 mins

  • preheat oven to 425 degrees f (220 degrees c).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • to serve, remove all 24 toothpicks, and slice the asparagus bundles between the bacon. drain on paper towels for a moment before serving.
