Grilled Brie Wheel With Field Berry And Fig Chutney Food

GRILLED BRIE WHEEL WITH FIELD BERRY AND FIG CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Field Berry and Fig Chutney: In large saucepan, combine blueberries, Field Berry spread, red wine, figs, red onion, vinegar, thyme, mustard, cinnamon, salt, pepper, allspice and cloves over medium-high heat; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes or until mixture is thick enough to coat back of spoon. Cool completely.
• Preheat one side of grill to medium; clean and grease grate well. Brush both sides of Brie with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil. Brush both sides of baguette slices with remaining oil. Grill cheese over indirect heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until warmed through and slightly swollen. Grill baguette slices over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until lightly toasted.
• Place Brie on serving plate; top with 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the Field Berry and Fig Chutney. (Save remaining chutney for another use.) Serve with grilled baguette slices.

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.
