Packet Dinners.....
I'm doing packet dinners over an open fire and know they will do just fine in a WFO. We do them in a closed grill as well and you can do them in a conventional oven.
Basically, put things you like in a Foil Packet. We've been doing fish lately but this recipe goes way back to boy scouts when they used hamburgers. Basically meat and vegetables with some oil or butter, maybe a spash of white wine. Cook them until they sizzle (1/4 hour to 3/4 of an hour depending on how big your packet is and how hot the fire is...)
Recent recipe:
spray foil with canola spray or olive oil
put a layer thin potatoe slices on the bottom of foil "packet"
put spices on potatoes (parsley, sage, rosemary and lots of thyme....)
put meat on spices (this recipe used fresh bass fillets)
put long thin slices of onions and peppers over fish
pile some green beans on either side
put 2 T butter cut up over top
splash of white wine (for steaming)
salt and pepper to taste
wrap up the package carefully and seal all edges (some may want two layers of foil)
also, you can add any other spices or seasoning mix you like.
put anything else you like....my wife does lots of mushrooms
this is a kid friendly meal as they can make up thieir own packets!
....big kid friendly too!
I put them on a grill over a wood fire for 20 minutes and let them rest a few minutes before opening.
For the WFO I would just toss them in on the hot hearth....
or the coals ....
or use your tuscan grill.
Okay have some fun, what's your version?
