Preparation

1. Combine the prunes and white wine and let stand at least 2 hours.
2. Gently combine the ground beef, lamb, salt, pepper, cilantro and feta. Divide into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into an oval, about 2 1/2 inches long by 1 1/2 inches wide.
3. Drain the prunes and press 1 piece of prune into the center of each oval shape. Mold the meat mixture around the prunes. Wrap a piece of bacon around each oval and secure with a toothpick.
4. Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Place the ovals in the skillet and cook, turning them as necessary to brown the bacon and cook the other meat through, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.
