These are the richest appetizers we have ever served. They are wonderful with wine and cheese! A version of this recipe was a gift from a friend and we have enjoyed it along with our guests. Use as much Gorgonzola as suits your taste! Ingredients:
3/4 cup chopped green olives |
3/4 cup chopped kalamata olives |
1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese |
3/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts |
5 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves |
4 roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and chopped |
1 red bell pepper, chopped |
3 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
salt to taste |
ground black pepper to taste |
1 (8 ounce) jar grape leaves packed in brine |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, mix the green olives, kalamata olives, Gorgonzola cheese, macadamia nuts, basil, tomatoes, bell pepper, garlic, and brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Lay each grape leaf flat, and place a heaped tablespoonful of the olive and Gorgonzola mixture in the center. Fold or roll the leaves around the mixture. Chill until serving.
