  1. This is not Rumaki. True Rumaki is a slice of sauteed chicken liver, and a slice of water chestnut wrapped in bacon. You left out the chicken liver, which is the most important part... leonetti00 at aol dot com
     
  2. Alan L. is right, remake has chi,Chen liver; but marinated rather than sauteed. The liverless version here is ok, but not remake.
     
  3. Alan L is correct. True Rumaki does have chicken livers. These appetizers should be called bacon wrapped waterchesnuts. I have also had the bacon wrapped pineapple + water chestnut version too. The first true Rumaki I tried was in the mid 60's at a country club in Kansas City. They were small pieces of chicken livers with bacon wrapped around them and with a tiny square of water chestnut in them (all secured with a fancy wooden toothpick) and they were deep fried. I fell in love with this appetizer and I did was not a chicken liver lover back then. Also they were not dipped in anything. I suppose baking is a more healthier way to eat these. Thanks for posting the recipe.
     
  4. Some of us don't care for chicken livers, in fact, few people today do. As a caterer I always do a liverless type of rumaki (to prove my point just check 'zaar- there are just as many liverless recipes as the "original." Ooo, the shrimp version looks lovely, BTW). This is the first version that I have found that is as easy as it is delicious. Served these at a wedding reception and they FLEW off the platter. Thanks Deana!
