Cookingbites Recipe Challenge: Grapes

[Morning Glory]

Welcome to the CookingBites Recipe Challenge. Our judge @Wyshiepoo who won the previous challenge has chosen fresh Grapes as the next ingredient. This means unprocessed fresh grapes as the starting point - but don't have to stay whole, they can be pureed, diced or whatever.



To enter, all you need to do is post a recipe featuring grapes as a new thread, tag it "CookingBites Recipe Challenge" and post a link to it in this thread. The challenge will provisionally run for three weeks, ending at 12:00 midday on the 16th April BST (GMT+1)

Challenge rules and a list of previous winners and ingredients can be found here.

I've now got a longish list of grape ideas. But before anything else I'd like to give an honorary mention to @medtran49's California Chicken Salad which I replicated not long ago - brilliant recipe! Sadly we can't enter recipes already posted but I'm thinking maybe @medtran49 could do a twist on it to make a new recipe.

Grapes with quail is a classic French dish - quail are not in season at the moment (or at least I can't get any) but it has me thinking about variations...

 

[medtran49]

Well, we have leftover pearl onions so I may do something with those and grapes, and we'll have 2 quail left after tonight's dinner. Actually, I just thought of an idea.

That is quite a coincidence. Lucky you!

I'm ready for that! I'm now so immersed in grape ideas that anything seems possible. Thanks for a great Recipe Challenge ingredient @Wyshiepoo.

Classic fish or chicken Veronique come to mind…

And my two coq au vin (with pearl onions) ideas I posted recently in another thread.

Grapes for thought...

When we bought the house I'm in at present 30 years ago, the fence line was all covered in grapes, I just wish I'd never killed the vines. Man I could have been making wine all these years. Never gave it a thought 30 years ago.

Holy roasted chilies Batman, that looks out of this world delicious.

I will have to work extra super duper hard to beat that recipe.

I should have thought of asking this before, but... @Wyshiepoo : does this include raisins? They're dried grapes, after all.

I suspect not but the judge's decision is final! I leave it to @Wyshiepoo to decide.
