Goat Cheese Wrapped in Grape Leaves

Ingredients

• 4 large grape leaves (in brine, alternatively 8 smaller grape leaves in brine)
• 4 round goat cheese balls
• olive oil
• 1 handful fresh sage leaves (finely chopped)
• Pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Rinse the grape leaves under cold water, lay them flat on kitchen paper and let drain, then pat dry with a towel.

2. 2.

   Place the prepared leaves on a work surface and put one cheese ball in the center of each leaf. For two smaller leaves, overlap them to increase area.

3. 3.

   Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over each cheese ball and sprinkle generously with sage and pepper, then wrap the grape leaf into a parcel. Fold the sides of the leaf inward and tuck the bottom down. Arrange the filled parcels so they do not puff up.
