4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
12 Grape leaves - (bottled); rinsed, dried
1 pounds Soft-fresh goat cheese
(preferably Coach Farm brand cheese)
3 tablespoons Freshly-grated black pepper
¼ cup Extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Chopped fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Preheat barbecue or grill. Lay the 12 grape leaves out on counter and move aside. In a mixing bowl, mix goat cheese and black pepper until homogenous.

Place a generous tablespoon of goat cheese in center of each leaf. Fold each leaf up like a burrito, and secure with a toothpick or tie with butcher twine. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over each and chill one hour in refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator and place over medium-hot part of grill and cook until leaves are just starting to char all over. Remove from grill and place 3 each on 4 plates. Drizzle each with a teaspoonful of balsamic vinegar and a dusting of fresh thyme leaves and serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 servings as antipasto.
