Prep Time: 1.5 hours - Cook Time: 15-20 min



Ingredients

5 Dove Breast
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 tsp Dried Crushed Rosemary, or fresh equivalent
2 oz Goat Cheese
5 slices Bacon ( not thick cut )
10 Pitted Dates
10 whole Cashews
Toothpicks


Instructions

Step #1 - In a small bowl, whisk balsamic vinegar, olive oil and rosemary to emulsify. Add dove breasts and marinate for 1 to 2 hours. Keep chilled until ready to cook. Thirty minutes before assembling the poppers, take out bacon and cut each strip in half. Allow to rest on the counter to come to room temperature.
Step #2 - Prepare grill for medium-high heat cooking.
Step #3 - Split open each date and fill with goat cheese and one cashew. To assemble the poppers, take half a piece of bacon and completely wrap it around one piece of filled date and a piece of marinated dove. Secure with a toothpick. Grill poppers until bacon is rendered. Serve immediately.
