Foil Packet Cheesy Sausage and Peppers

Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil

chicken

onions

red bell peppers

extra virgin olive oil

marinara sauce ((I

mozzarella

salt

black pepper (to taste)

bread (optional for serving)

Preheat the grill on high heat on one half and medium-low on the other.

In a large bowl combine the onions, pepper, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Tear off 4 12 x 18” sheets of Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil.

Divide the onions and peppers between 4 pieces of foil, with the dull side facing up. Top with 3 tablespoons marinara.

Bring up the long sides of the foil, so the ends meet over the food.

Double fold the ends, leaving room for heat to circulate inside. Double fold the two short ends to seal the packet tight, so no steam escapes.

Place the foil packets on the side of the grill with the medium-low heat. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.

When ready, set aside and add the sausage to the medium-low side. At this point you can shut off the high side of the grill.

Cook sausage, 6 to 8 minutes turning often until cooked through in the center and place on a cutting board.

Open the foil packets, slice the sausage and add to the foil packets, top each with 2 tablespoons cheese and keep open.

Cover grill and leave until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Serve with bread, if desired.

Lay out 4 large sheets of Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil 18 x 12. Put the fish in the center of each and drizzle with olive oil.

Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to seal, leaving room for steam.

Mediterranean Fish Foil Packets 

white fish fillets

olives

cherry tomatoes (halved)

mini sweet peppers (halved lengthwise)

capers (drained)

lemon

red pepper flakes

parsley

Add the olives, tomatoes, peppers, capers and olive oil to a mixing bowl. Slice the lemon in half and zest it then squeeze the juice of the half into the bowl along with the zest. Slice the other half into 4 rounds and set aside. To the bowl add the red pepper flakes and toss everything to combine.

Season the fish with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper, to taste and top each piece with 2 slices of lemon.

Preheat an outdoor grill turning all the burners over high heat until it’s 350°F. Reduce the flame to medium heat, keeping one side on low.

Tear off 2, 12-inch pieces of heavy duty foil. Spoon half of the veggies onto the center of each piece of foil. Place a piece of fish on top of the veggies. Top with remaining vegetables and any leftover liquid from the bowl over the vegetables then the lemon slices. Bring two ends up and over the fish and crimp to close. Crimp sides so everything is completely enclosed and no steam escapes. Transfer the foil packets to a rimmed baking sheet to easily transport to the grill.

Carefully place the foil packets on the low heat side of the grill and quickly close the lid. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness of the fish. Remove the foil packets to the rimmed baking sheet and let sit for 5 minutes before opening.

Open the foil packets, there will be hot steam trapped inside so use caution while opening. Top with parsley and dill and serve immediately.

I made this tonight using fresh Chilean Sea Bass. I cooked it in the oven and served it over jasmati rice. It was delicious! Definitely a keeper.

Being from the east coast and loving fish, (now living in the Midwest) I’m always looking for easy, delicious fish recipes.  This was so outstanding, highly recommend!  I baked mine in the oven (weather was iffy for the grill) and it was awesome and no clean up.  Made it exactly as it was written, you won’t be disappointed!

I made this last night and it was delicious. I served it with crusty sourdough bread to soak up the juices at the bottom of the foil pouch. I will definitely make this again!

Made this last night on the grill and it was fantastic!! ….and I’m not really into fish but my husband is and has been asking for more of it. I used cod, did not have capers and only Spanish olives on hand. The cherry tomatoes and red bell peppers were very refreshing and the dill finished it off perfectly.
