How about this for the next time you fire up the barbie?
Goat Cheese Wrapped in Grape Leaves
Soak several large grape leaves (the kind you get in a jar) for 5 minutes in warm water, then drain.
Sprinkle a large round of goat cheese with anise or fennel seeds and crushed red pepper.
Wrap a grape leaf around the bottom of the cheese and sprinkle with sambuca or ouzo.
Wrap another leaf or two around the top, using just enough leaves to form a single layer, then refrigerate for 1 hour. (Don't worry if the leaves don't hold fast--they'll stick once the cheese is grilled.)
Brush the cheese bundle with olive oil and grill over a medium-low fire, turning until the cheese is a little oozy and the leaves are slightly charred (about 4 minutes).
That ought to impress the neighbors!
