Receta Bacon-Wrapped Squab en Papillote
Ingredients
2 squabs
- 4 slices of nitrate-free bacon
- 6-8 sprigs of thyme
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 clementine halves or 2 orange quarters
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and small diced
- 1 small onion, roughly chopped
- 5 ounces sliced shiitakes (or mushrooms of choice)
- sea salt and ground pepper to taste
- parchment paper
Directions
Preheat oven to 450° F.
Rinse squabs with water and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper, inside and out. Insert thyme, garlic, and clementine in the cavities.
In a skillet, cook bacon just enough to render some fat. Remove bacon from skillet and set aside.
Brown the squabs in the same skillet on all sides (about 5 minutes). Remove.
Wrap two pieces of bacon each around the birds. Just tuck in the bacon edges underneath the birds as it probably won’t go all the way around ~ no worries here as it will cook into place.
Place each wrapped squab in a large baking dish. Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until desired doneness. I like mine cooked to 150° F internal temperature; however, the USDA recommends 180° F. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Serve to your guests in the paper and let them tear it open…they receive a gift of your food! :-)
Enjoy!
