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).
