Aromatic Aralia Shoots Wrapped in Bacon: An Effortless Recipe
Super Easy Recipe for Aralia Shoots Rolled in Bacon
This dish is easily made with aralia shoots and bacon. It’s also great for when you have guests over.
Ingredients- Aralia shoots (Dureup)
- Bacon slices
- Olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the aralia shoots. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and once the water is boiling vigorously, carefully add the aralia shoots, starting with the root ends. Blanch them for about 1 minute. Avoid overcooking, as they can become too soft. After blanching, rinse them under cold water to retain their crispness and drain any excess water.
Step 2
Lay out the bacon slices flat on a clean surface. Place one blanched aralia shoot onto each bacon slice. Ensure the bacon is ready to wrap around the shoot.
Step 3
Carefully roll the bacon around the aralia shoot, creating a neat roll. Try to wrap it snugly so it holds its shape. To make them even prettier and more secure, you can use toothpicks or skewers to hold the rolls together. Insert 2-3 toothpicks per roll for stability.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the pan. Place the rolled aralia shoots and bacon seam-side down if possible, to help them seal.
Step 5
Cook the rolls, turning them frequently, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy on all sides. The bacon fat will render out, adding wonderful flavor to the aralia shoots. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning.
Step 6
Once cooked to perfection, arrange the aralia shoot and bacon rolls on a serving plate. These are best enjoyed warm. They look elegant and are incredibly simple to make, making them a fantastic choice for entertaining guests or as a special treat. Enjoy your delicious creation!
