Preparation

What You Need

1 (200 g) Canadian Brie
4 grape leaves, stem removed
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil

Exotic grain salad:
1/2 cup (125 ml) pearl barley
1 cup (250 ml) water
1/3 cup (80 ml) wild rice
1 1/2 cup (375 ml) water
1/2 cup (125 ml) of corn kernels
1 tomato, peeled, diced
1 lemon, juice only
1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh chopped mint
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
Small pinch of salt

Instructions

Salad:
In a pot, put the barley with the cup of water and salt. Cook for 20 minutes or until tender.

In another pot, add the wild rice with and the 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) of water and salt. Cook on medium heat until tender for approx. 40 minutes.

Drain the barley and wild rice and place in a bowl. Add the tomato, corn kernels, lemon juice, olive oil and mint. Season with salt and pepper.

Wrapped Canadian Brie:
Rub the wheel of Canadian Brie with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of olive oil. Place on your well heated BBQ for 30 seconds on each side. Remove.

Place 4 grape leaves in a circle, overlapping each other. Be sure the bottom is sealed properly. Place your Brie in the center and wrap it completely with the leaves. To secure, place toothpicks through the grape leaves and the Brie.

Return to the coolest part of the BBQ for 1 minute to melt slightly.

To serve, either unfold the grapes leaves or simply cut a wedge out and present with the salad.

Tips

Look for canned grape leaves at the supermarket (rinse well in cold water before using).

If you cannot find grape leaves, try wrapping the Brie in kale leaves or corn husks (blanch them first in boiling water to make them more flexible).

    with a paisa dish, a traditional special occasions dish, you can accompany it with an exotic desert such as canadian brie wrapped in banana leaves. Most importantly, is that this paisa dish, must include a glass of old red wine with it, as the dish is rich in carbohydrates and red meats, and red wine is a cleanser as well as antioxidant. Your guesses will be delighted with the folklore of the dish and the combination of red wine
