Ingredients

1. 2 thick slices of bacon, halved crosswise and rolled into cylinders
2. 1 small onion, quartered
3. 1 portobello mushroom, stemmed and cap quartered
4. 2 plum tomatoes, cored and halved lengthwise
5. 4 pitted prunes
6. 4 peeled garlic cloves
7. 1 large supple ancho chile, seeded and quartered
8. 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
9. 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
10. 1/2 cup water

1. Thread the ingredients onto skewers. Brush the kebabs with oil and grill over high heat, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are charred in spots, about 15 minutes; let cool slightly. Remove the ingredients from the skewers and transfer them to a blender.
2. Add the wine vinegar, light brown sugar, and water and puree until smooth. Season with salt.
