Ginas Bbq Brie With Raspberries Recipes

CEDAR PLANK-GRILLED BRIE WITH BERRIES

Steps:

• Put a cedar grilling plank in a large baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet and cover with water; let soak at least 1 hour. Preheat a grill to medium to medium high.
• Put the blackberries in a medium bowl and lightly crush with a fork. Add the strawberries, vinegar, sugar, thyme, a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir, then let stand at least 5 minutes.
• Drain the cedar plank. Trim just the top rind off the brie. Place the brie on the plank and top with the berry mixture, reserving some of the juices for serving. Sprinkle with the almonds.
• Place the plank on the grill and cover. Cook until the brie is softened and warmed through, 9 to 11 minutes (keep an eye out during the last few minutes in case the brie starts to melt out of the rind). Gently press the side of the brie to see if it's ready; it should yield to pressure. Drizzle with the reserved berry juices and sprinkle with a few thyme leaves. Serve warm with crackers.

GINA'S BBQ CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until the fat has started to render but the bacon is not yet crisp. Add the red onions, apples, salt and pepper, to taste. Saute until the mixture softens, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and stir until it begins to soften and wilt down; season again with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the chicken broth and the apple cider vinegar and reduce over medium-low heat. Cover and stir occasionally until the cabbage is tender.
• Once cabbage is cooked, remove the lid and add the Neely's BBQ sauce. Turn heat to medium and let the liquid reduce until it's nice and syrupy. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with pat of butter. Serve hot.
