Devils on horseback

Devils on horseback are a delectable and popular appetizer, perfect for infusing any gathering with a touch of savory delight. This dish is a playful twist on the classic angels on horseback, substituting oysters with dried fruits.

Here’s how it's typically prepared: take a pitted prune and fill it with a flavorful ingredient like mango chutney or an almond. Then, wrap the stuffed prune in bacon and bake until it's crispy and irresistible. Often, these savory bites are served on toast with a bit of watercress for a refreshing complement.

Numerous variations exist to keep things exciting. You can stuff the prunes with cheese, almonds, smoked oysters, or even liver. Some recipes get creative by using liver pieces instead of prunes or by stuffing liver inside the prunes. Another unique twist involves wrapping segments of orange in bacon or another type of savory component.

Devils on horseback are especially popular during the holiday season and make a fantastic addition to a Christmas feast. They’re sure to be a hit with your guests!
