Goat Cheese Filled Grape Leaves

Recipe Ingredients

8 oz	227g	Grape leaves (large)
8 oz	227g	Goat cheese
1 tablespoon	15ml	Mixed herbs
		= (thyme, basil, rosemary, and/or parsley)
2 cups	474ml	Extra-virgin olive oil
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
		Arugula - for a salad
8		Greek loaf bread
		Marinated olives - as accompaniment

Recipe Instructions

Mix the goat cheese, herbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Spread out the grape leaves, in sets of 2 overlapping pairs. Scoop 2 ounces (ice cream scoop works best) of goat cheese mixture, and place in the middle of the pair of grape leaves. Starting with 1 end, fold each side until goat cheese is covered, making a rectangular packet. Repeat with remaining leaves. Place stuffed leaves in a container and cover with extra-virgin olive oil.

Heat a grill.

Using tongs, place the packets onto the hot grill. When marked, turn over, and mark on the other side. Grill until cheese is soft. When soft, remove from grill.

Place on a bed of arugula, and tear open the grape leaf. Brush 8 pieces of bread with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill both sides. Cut in half on a bias and serve with the goat cheese and marinated olives.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
