ORIGINAL CHARCOAL’S Cedar Planked Brie with Mango (or Blueberry) Chili
Chutney

INGREDIENTS

1 Original Charcoal Cedar Cooking Plank, soaked a minimum of 1 hour
2 small wheels of Brie – approximately 250g (~9 oz) each
2 medium shallots or 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 green onion, finely chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded depending on heat desire, finely chopped
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp, fresh thyme, or lemon thyme, or cilantro, or mint, or…
1/2 cup raspberry preserve
1 pint fresh, diced mango, or 1 pint fresh blueberries
2 Baguette

TECHNIQUE

1. Preheat your charcoal grill with Rancher Charcoal Organic
Lump Charcoal…or your gas grill if you must.
2. Using a the correct knife, cut the rind off of the top of the Brie wheel.
3. In the correct sized bowl, mix the shallots, green onions, jalapeno
pepper, olive oil, thyme (mint), raspberry preserve, and mango. Mix well
but gently.
4. Spread chutney evenly over the two brie wheels.
5. Heat your presoaked Cedar Plank inside your grill for a few minutes.
6. Place the brie wheels carefully onto the cedar planks and toast baguette
in grill away from high heat, and close grill lid. Bake for ~10 minutes
until cheese is melting and has begun to bubble. The rind should have a
terrific golden brown from the delicious smoke.
7. Remove the spectacular cedar planked brie and the wonderfully toasted
baguette from the grill and serve. The brie can be served right off the hot
plank, but be sure to consider the charred bottom of the plank and
corresponding heat.
8. Accept the praise and accolades from friends and family with gracious
humility:)
