Asparagus Foil Packet For The Grill Recipe 455 Food

FOIL BAKED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 C (360 F).
• Prepare asparagus by snapping the lower "woody" part of the stem off (if it snaps cleanly you've got the right place; if it is difficult to break try higher up!), and peel the lower section if they're a bit old or thick.
• Tear off a large enough piece of aluminium foil to wrap around the bunch of asparagus securely, and place asparagus in foil.
• Dot with butter and sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Wrap securely, and then wrap an extra strip of foil around the tip end to protect it.
• Bake in oven for 25-35 mins, depending on the thickness and age of the asparagus (Mine were done in 30 and I'd say they were fairly average sized).
• Try to wait until you're ready to serve before you unwrap them, or better still, serve them still wrapped in the foil.

FOIL-PACKET STEAK AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Lay out four 12-by-18-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil on a work surface. Combine the asparagus, olive oil, marjoram, garlic and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and toss.
• Sprinkle the steak with a big pinch of salt and the pepper. Put 2 pieces of steak side by side in the center of each sheet of foil and top with the asparagus. Bring the 2 short ends of the foil together and fold twice; fold in the sides to seal.
• Put the foil packets steak-side down on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until the steak is cooked to medium and the asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high heat or an oven to 425 degrees F.
• Coat 4 large squares of foil with cooking spray.
• Divide the asparagus stalks evenly among the squares of foil.
• Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper evenly over the asparagus stalks.
• Place 2 teaspoons of butter in each asparagus packet.
• Fold the foil over the asparagus, sealing completely on all sides.
• Grill the asparagus packs for 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
• Alternatively, you can bake the asparagus for 15 minutes.
• Open the foil packets carefully, then gently stir to make sure all the asparagus is coated with the butter and seasonings.
• Sprinkle with parsley and serve, with lemon wedges if desired.

GRILLED POTATO AND ASPARAGUS FOIL PACK

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Tear off 12-inch length of heavy-duty foil to make packet. Lightly spray 1 side of foil (side that will be inside of packet) with canola oil cooking spray.
• Place potatoes in 2-quart saucepan; cover potatoes with water. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes; return to saucepan. Add remaining ingredients; toss gently.
• Place mixture in center of foil. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space on sides for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place foil packet on grill. Cover grill; cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning packet once. Cooking times are approximate and depend on the heat of your grill.

GRILLED SWAI AND ASPARAGUS PACKETS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Tear off 4 large squares of aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Melt 1/3 of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss asparagus, onion, dill, and seasoning blend with butter. Divide among the foil squares.
• Top vegetables with swai fillets. Place small pats of remaining butter over each fish fillet. Sprinkle liberally with seasoning blend. Place lemon slices on top. Fold up foil into packets, sealing seams tightly but leaving room inside for steam to circulate.
• Place packets directly on the grill and cook until swai flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Open packets carefully and squeeze lemon juice over swai and vegetables.

FOIL PACKET VEGGIES ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Cut two sheets of aluminum foil to 20 inches in length and arrange them cross-wise on a flat surface.
• Place veggies in center of foil, sprinkle with seasonings and drizzle with olive oil.
• Bring ends of top layer of foil together and fold downward 3-4 times toward the veggies, leaving enough slack so that the veggies don't spill too much out the sides.
• Repeat with bottom layer of foil until tightly sealed.
• Place packet on top rack of grill and cook, covered, for 10-15 minutes. Do not turn.
• Remove packet from grill with oven mitts, being careful not to tear the bottom of the packet.
• Carefully open foil and serve directly from packet.
