Pineapple Rumaki Recipes

RUMAKI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together teriyaki sauce, garlic and ginger root. Place chicken livers and water chestnuts in the mixture. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Wrap each half slice of bacon around one chicken liver half and a slice of water chestnut. Secure by skewering with small skewers or toothpicks.
• Carefully lower skewered wraps into the hot oil in small batches. Deep fry 3 to 4 minutes, or until bacon is evenly brown and of desired crispness. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

RUMAKI RECIPE - BACON WRAPPED

Steps:

• Clean/remove as much excess from the livers as possible while keeping the livers as "Large" as possible.
• Cutaway pieces that do not look like something you'd like to eat. Use a small knife and make small cuts where needed trying to keep the liver in tactic.
• Combine the soy sauce, chopped garlic, brown sugar, and chopped ginger into a large bowl.Add the livers to the marinate. Place into the refrigerator for one hour.
• Slice the bacon in half lengthwise. You do not want to use too much bacon or the cooking time will be longer. Which risks overcooking the livers or beef, or chicken.Cutting the bacon strips in half will make it easy to wrap each chicken liver tightly.
• Lay one piece of bacon flat on a cutting board. Take a slice of water chestnut and place it at one end of the bacon strip. Add a piece of liver on top of the water chestnut. Tip: Add small slices of jalapeno
• Next, roll the bacon starting at the end with the liver and roll the bacon on top of itself. No rules on how you wrap. Another option is wrapping the bacon in circles all around the liver.Secure with toothpicks
• Place the rumaki on a cookie sheet. Or, I like using a wire rack so the rumaki isn't touching the cookie sheet. It helps crisp things up nicely.Bake @ 375 for 15 to 20 minutes
• Add the glaze of choice after cooking. Use a paintbrush or spoon to cover.
• Then place the rumaki back into the oven for 3 to 5 minutes to set the glaze.

RUMAKI APPETIZERS

Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil; set aside., Place a water chestnut and pineapple chunk on each piece of bacon; roll up bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a broiler pan. Broil 4-5 in. from the heat 4-5 minutes on each side or until bacon is crisp. Serve with sauce.

EASY RUMAKI WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line the bottom section of a broiler pan with aluminum foil, top with the broiler rack, and spray rack with cooking spray.
• Place a water chestnut slice atop each pineapple cube; wrap each with 1 bacon slice, securing with a toothpick. Arrange wrapped pineapple on the prepared broiler rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes; turn and continue baking until bacon is almost crisp, about 8 more minutes. Brush rumaki with sesame-ginger dressing and continue baking until bacon is crisp, about 5 more minutes. Garnish rumaki with green onion.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE RUMAKI

Steps:

• Combine all marinade ingredients in a nonreactive bowl.
• Add pineapple and stir.
• Let marinate 1 hour.
• Drain marinade and strain into a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Cook until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Wrap each pineapple piece with an herb sprig and a piece of bacon.
• Secure the bacon with a bamboo skewer or a wooden toothpick.
• Can be prepared several hours ahead up to this point.
• Set up grill for three-zone grilling and preheat (see intro for instructions).
• Brush and oil the grill grate.
• If using skewers, fold a length of aluminum foil in half lengthwise and place on grate on the edge closest to you, so that it covers all three heat zones. (You will not need the foil if using toothpicks; it's to keep the ends of the skewers from burning.).
• Place rumaki on hot zone. If using skewers, make sure the ends are on top of the foil shield. Do this in batches if necessary.
• Grill until bacon is crisp, 2-3 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade syrup.
• Move to medium or cool zone if the bacon fat causes flareups.
• Serve drizzled with any remaining glaze.
• If using toothpicks, be sure to take them out!

PINEAPPLE RUMAKI

Steps:

• Combine the french dressing and pineapple chunks in a bag to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Cut each of the bacon slices into three pieces (1 bacon slice=3 small stripes of bacon).
• Preheat your oven to broil and set for 350 degrees.
• After the 15 minutes are up, take the pineapple chunks and wrap them with the bacon and put a wooden toothpick through the bacon and the pineapple to secure the rumaki together.
• Take a baking sheet and put the rumaki onto the baking sheet.
• Broil one side of the rumaki until it looks done, which should be around 6-8 minutes depending on how hot your oven is (if you want the rumaki to be crisper, leave it under the broil for a little longer).
• After the one side of the rumaki is cooked, take the baking sheet out. Grab the toothpick and flip the rumaki to the other side, which is not cooked. (Be careful as the baking sheet will be hot.).
• Put the baking sheet in the oven again. Broil for another 6-8 minutes.
• Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
• Now get ready to serve the rumaki.
