Moink Moink Moink
The other day I mentioned that I was trolling food blogs looking for inspiration…and in my usual hangout I came upon the Moink…basically bite-sized meatloaves wrapped in bacon. What’s not to love?
I mixed together a pound of ground beef, added a cup of seasoned bread crumbs, 2 eggs, three chopped cloves of garlic, some salt, some pepper and a tablespoon of berbere spice
got myself half a pound of bacon (as you can see I cut the pound in half for short strips and I froze the other half)
I made little meatball sized, er, meatballs and wrapped each lovingly with a half strip of bacon and secured with a toothpick
than on to the new grill for some indirect charcoal cooking
after a half hour or so the bacon had crisped up nicely
and we had a most delightful appetizer, served with my variation on the Number 5 sauce for dipping.

You have captured my interest, sir. This is the perfect type of heart attack on a toothpick that would be ideal for watching Mad Men.
Oh look. It sounds so good that you have even inspired the deer to become carnivorous.
Looks like Claude starved during the production of this tasty meal!
Jealousy doesn’t even begin to describe it. Damn you to hell, sir.
Oh just you wait Dave; the next batch I think I’ll stuff the little beauties with, oh, I don’t know, something like blue cheese…
Great job bing. Looks like I’m gonna have to give that a go next time I fire up the grill.
I volunteered at a CBJ class on Saturday and have been reaping the benefits of leftover BBQ.
You are my hero!
This qualifies as a corporal act of mercy, Bings. Bless your bacon-wrapped heart.
What pray tell is bere bere spice?
Bill, it’s an ethiopian spice blend that most online spice sellers have. It’s got heat but also warmth, if you know what I mean.
I like it a lot.
