Cheese, grape and walnut truffles

Archaeological evidence suggests the earliest grape plantations were in the east of Iran and Georgia. Although the below is not a traditional Greek dish, these truffles are one of the many ways I enjoy eating grapes.

The following recipe has been tested and edited by SBS Food and may differ slightly from the podcast.

Instructions

  1. Combine the chees, chives and cracked pepper in a bowl.
  2. Place 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the palm of one hand and press a grape in the centre, moulding the mixture around the grape to coat. Repeat with the remaining cheese mixture and grapes.
  3. Roll the truffles in the walnuts to cover completely. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
