Steps:
- Whisk the olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, za'atar and Aleppo pepper in a shallow bowl or small baking dish. Add the feta and spoon the oil over the top. Set aside to marinate 1 hour.
- While the cheese marinates, place the grape leaves in a bowl of room-temperature water and let soak.
- Line a small baking sheet with paper towels. Drain the grape leaves and lay in a single layer on the towels; pat very dry. On a clean surface, overlap the grape leaves slightly to form a square. Place the block of feta in the center (reserve the flavored oil), then fold the grape leaves to cover the cheese like a present.
- Preheat a grill to medium high and prepare for indirect grilling: On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side; on a gas grill, turn off half the burners. Toast the pita over direct heat, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Brush the outside of the wrapped feta with some of the reserved oil and place on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat). Cook until the grape leaves are crisp and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and move to direct heat; grill until lightly charred on the second side and the cheese is warmed through, about 3 more minutes. Transfer to a board or platter and serve with the pita, olives, walnuts and/or apricots, plus any remaining flavored oil.

Steps:
- Combine the oil, onion, soy sauce, bay leaves and peppercorns together in a nonreactive dish just large enough to hold the quails in one layer. Add the quails, turning to coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate them for eight hours, or overnight. Baste once during this time.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the beans, cook them until just tender, about 35 to 45 minutes, then drain. While the beans are still warm, add the red onion, tomato, olive oil, lemon juice, sumac if used, salt and mint leaves.
- While the beans are cooking, eat a charcoal grill or a broiler. Remove the quails from the marinade. Spread the grape leaves out flat. Place a half quail on the lower edge of each leaf. Roll up the bird in the leaf, turning in the sides as you roll. Run a skewer through the roll crosswise and add a piece of red pepper. Repeat with three more rolls and pieces of pepper per skewer.
- Once the salad has been made and the charcoal is hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook the quails for five minutes, then turn them over and cook the second side for five minutes more. Serve the quail rolls on top of the bean salad.
EASY GRILLED QUAIL
If you are looking for something different to grill this summer, how about quail? You can keep things simple and pair them with everyday sides or dress them up for company by serving them with couscous and shredded Brussels sprouts. Wild rice pairs nicely with them as well.
