Cedar Plank Brie?
Posted by Duane
Here’s a great Ted Reader-inspired dish idea.
We did a little going-away dinner at our place last night for my brother, Darin, who’s moving his family to Alabama (I don’t get it either) - I wanted to make an appetizer that was both savory and sweet at the same time, so I grilled this little number.
The end result is a dish that meet both of the criteria I had - a gooey middle with savory cedar notes all over the cheese, sweet raspberries and honey with good texture from the almonds and some freshness from the herb - needless to say, his family destroyed it.
We paired it with a raspberry dessert wine called Framboise from Boony Doon Vineyard out of Santa Cruz CA:
1 Round of Brie
8-10oz of Fresh Raspberries
2-3 Tablespoons of Honey
1 Tablespoon of a fresh herb - in this example, I used Oregano
6oz of shaved almonds
1 water-soaked cedar plank (untreated)

Thats awesome. I have been wanting to try that recipe since I saw it in the Costco mag! If that doesn’t scream wine food, I don’t know what does. I am glad to hear a good review.
