• 20 ml (4 tsp) oil
• 125 g (4.4 oz) chicken livers
• 5 button mushrooms
• 5 plump dried apricots or dried pitted prunes
• 1 banana, peeled and sliced into strips

Method

1. Place 10 ml oil in a pan and flash fry chicken livers to firm up shape.
2. Marinate button mushrooms in oil for 10 minutes.
3. Wrap Rindless Streaky Bacon around any of the above.
4. Grill for 5 – 10 minutes until cooked.
5. Serve on/with cocktail sticks.

For a healthier option, try the following:

• Replace the bananas and dried fruit with chopped carrots and celery sticks

Ingredients

• 2 large avocados
• Fresh lemon juice
• 1 Roma tomato, seeded and cubed
• 1 cup cubed French bread
• 1/2 cup finely chopped spinach leaves
• 1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC degrees.
2. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and carefully remove the peel.
3. Rub the outsides of each half with some fresh lemon juice. This will help them maintain their nice color. Set aside.
4. In a medium mixing bowl, add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
5. Stuff the avocados with as much of the filling as you can fit, allowing the filling to come up over the sides a bit.
6. Place the avocados on a non-stick baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the filling has turned a light golden brown.
