Ingredients

12 large prunes
6 slices smoked bacon, cut in half
12 toothpicks
1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
Place the soaked napkins in the center of the Arteflame grill.
Stack firewood over the napkins and light them.
Let the grill heat up for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Wrap the Prunes

Wrap each prune with a half-slice of smoked bacon.
Secure each bacon-wrapped prune with a toothpick.

Step 3: Grill the Bacon-Wrapped Prunes

Place a pat of butter on the flat cooktop of the Arteflame grill.
Once the butter melts, arrange the bacon-wrapped prunes on the griddle.
Grill near the center for a hotter sear, ensuring even crispiness.
Turn them occasionally for even cooking.
Cook for 5-7 minutes or until bacon is crispy and golden brown.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the grill and let them rest for 1-2 minutes.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips

Use thick-cut smoked bacon for a more robust flavor.
If you prefer extra crispiness, place prunes closer to the hotter center of the griddle.
Let the bacon-wrapped prunes rest for a couple of minutes to allow the juices to settle.

Variations

Polish Kielbasa Wrap: Replace bacon with slices of smoky Polish kielbasa for a heartier bite.
Cheese-Stuffed Prunes: Add a small cube of blue cheese inside each prune before wrapping.
Honey-Glazed Bacon: Brush bacon with honey before grilling for a sweet caramelized glaze.
Prosciutto-Wrapped Prunes: Substitute bacon with thinly sliced prosciutto for a delicate, salty alternative.
Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Prunes: Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper on the prunes before wrapping for a fiery kick.
