Ingredients
6 Doves (12 total breasts)
6 slices of cheap bacon
Cream cheese
6 Jalapeños
Marinade
2 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
1 clove(s) Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried crushed rosemary, or fresh
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Brown-Sugar Glaze
3 tbsp Brown Sugar
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1 1/2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Step #1 - Butterfly each dove breast. Combine marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and add dove. Marinate for 30 minutes. Cut jalapeños into 12 strips; remove seeds and ribs for less heat.
Step #2 - Prepare grill for direct heat cooking at about 350° Fahrenheit. Cut each slice of bacon into two, which should give you a total of 12 short pieces of bacon. Stuff each marinated dove breast with a small dollop of cream cheese and a strip of jalapeño. Wrap a piece of bacon around the stuffed breast and secure with a toothpick.
Step #3 - Lay the poppers onto the hot grill and cook until bacon is rendered and browned, turning occasionally. Meanwhile, combine glaze ingredients. A few minutes before you remove the poppers from the grill, baste the poppers with the glaze. Serve warm.
