Here is one recipe I found.I guess you could use any stuffing and just cook on the grill instead. Serves approximately 20 2-bite grape leaves 20 fresh grape leaves (or jarred leaves) 1 cup mild, creamy chevre 2 cups cooked brown rice 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped thyme (or rosemary), or to taste 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts salt and pepper to taste a few splashes of olive oil, if needed, plus more for brushing 1.If you are using fresh grape leaves, bring a pot of water to boil. Add salt and the grape leaves one at a time. Turn off the water and let the grape leaves sit in the pot, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes. The best way to test whether they are done it to scoop out a leaf, tear off a corner, and taste it. The leaf will be done when it is easy to chew. When the leaves are tender, drain them into a colander, and run cold water on top to cool them. 2.Carefully remove the leaves one at a time from the colander and lay them out flat on a dry kitchen towel. Briefly press another towel on top of the grape leaves to dry them, then remove it and let the leaves air dry. 3.Meanwhile, make the filling. Mix together the goat cheese, rice, thyme (or rosemary), and pine nuts. Taste and add salt and pepper. If the filling seems a bit dry, add a few splashes of olive oil and mix again. 4.Lay a grape leaf with the vein side up on a cutting board and remove any stem from below the leaf (do not remove the central vein of the leaf itself). Add about 1 tablespoon of the filling towards the bottom of the leaf. Fold up the bottom and the sides and then tuck down the top. It may seem like it won't stay together, but just tuck in all the ends, and they will hold well. Repeat this process until you have used all your leaves and filling. Brush both sides of each grape leaf with olive oil. 5.Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Arrange the stuffed grape leaves on the grill with the seam side down and cook until they are slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side. Serve whole or sliced diagonally in half. Read more: http://www.food52.com/recipes/5033_grilled_grape_leaves_stuffed_with_lemony_goat_cheese#ixzz0vCm1LZct
