bacon wrapped water chestnuts – rumaki style
have you ever heard of rumaki? nope? lol… same 😂
BUT the second I discovered bacon-wrapped water chestnuts (& then learned classic rumaki = bacon-wrapped chicken livers), I was immediately sold. organ meats + bacon = elite combo 🥓✨
this is a rumaki-style spin: crunchy water chestnuts + an ancestral meat stick with organ blend for an easy nutrient boost, a thick wrap of bacon & everything glazed in my homemade gluten-free teriyaki sauce 🤌
sweet-savory, crispy, juicy, & surprisingly nutrient-dense — basically the most delicious way to sneak liver into a crowd-pleasing appetizer!
