Grilled Grapes Recipes

ROASTED GRAPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the grapes on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Roast until the grapes burst and get soft, wilted and a little charred, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Serve on peanut butter toast or crostini with cream cheese, or add them to a salad. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

GRILLED GRAPES

Steps:

• For each cluster of grapes, use 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil. In a mixing bowl, toss grapes gently with olive oil.
• Grill on a medium-high covered grill for 3-4 minutes.

GRILLED GRAPES

Steps:

• Prepare outdoor grill for covered, direct grilling on medium.
• Place grapes, broken into clusters if you like, on hot grill grate. Cover grill and cook grapes 4 to 5 minutes or until grapes begin to char and soften, turning occasionally. (This recipe can be doubled easily.)

GRILLED GRAPE FRUIT SKEWERS

Steps:

• Prepare grill or broiler. Skewer fruit, alternating grapes with mango and strawberries. Prepare glaze by mixing together honey, orange zest, orange juice and salt. Both fruit skewers and glaze should be at room temperature before grilling. Grill skewers over hot coats until lightly browned on each side, about 2-4 minutes per side. Brush fruit with glaze and sprinkle with mint. Serve warm.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE, BANANAS, AND GRAPES

Steps:

• For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute until smooth. Set aside to cool.
• For the cream: In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream until thick. Add the sugar and beat until the cream holds stiff peaks. Beat in the yogurt, rum, and vanilla.
• For the fruit: Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Sprinkle each side of the pineapple slices with brown sugar. Sprinkle the cut sides of the bananas and grapes with brown sugar. Grill the pineapple until grill-marked and golden, 4 to 5 minutes each side. Grill the bananas and grapes until lightly browned and warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes each side.
• Place the grilled pineapple on 4 plates. Top with 3 banana slices and 3 grapes. Drizzle with honey glaze and spoon a dollop of the cream on top. Garnish with chopped fresh mint and serve.

GRILLED BRIE WITH GRAPES AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Place a piece of aluminum foil under the rack of your grill and preheat it to medium-high.
• Drizzle the oil over the grapes and season with salt and pepper. Place the grapes and the brie onto the grill and cook, turning both occasionally, until the grapes are lightly charred and bursting, about 4 to 6 minutes.
• Remove the grapes from the heat, transfer to the serving platter and drizzle with balsamic. Continue to cook the brie for 2 to 3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and it is soft but you are still able to lift it. Add to the platter.
• Scatter the pistachios over the brie and grapes and garnish with a few basil leaves. Serve immediately with sliced baguette and crackers.

GRILLED BRIE AND GRAPES WITH GRILLED BREAD

Steps:

• Light a grill or preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates or grill pan.
• Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with a little oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place the grapes with their stems still attached in a medium bowl. Coat the grapes with a little oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Brush the brie with a little oil, as well.
• Once the grill is heated, grill the bread until charred on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove and slice into pieces.
• Add the grape bunches to the grill and cook, turning every couple of minutes, until some of them begin to burst and they turn golden in color, 8 to 10 minutes. About 5 minutes before the grapes are done, add the brie to the grill.
• If using two 8-ounce wheels of brie, grill until you see nice grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes per side. If using one 16-ounce wheel of brie, grill until you see nice grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Remove the grilled grapes and brie and arrange on a board or platter along with the grilled bread.
• Slather a little of the gooey, grilled brie on a piece of bread and top with a couple of the grilled grapes picked from the stem.
