Roasted Potato, Onion & Cheesey Side Dish
You might remember my Memorial Day Camping recipe for Camp fire baked Tilapia that I posted last year. Well, now we have a fire pit in our back yard and we've really been enjoying our "camp fire" in the evenings.
For "Clean Eating" my husband and I stick to baked onions to top our steaks with... the pescatarians eat grilled fish, and Kainan chose grilled chicken. Whatever your tastes or restrictions, this is a super simple way to make an amazingly deeply flavored side dish for your meal.
Directions:
- Set out some pieces of foil about 18" long (this is a good "assembly line" type of family prep if you like)
- Using coconut butter, oil the foil, leaving just 1-2 inches around the edge
- Add your choice of vegetables (we've used garlic, onion, potato, cheese so far **Slice the potato into somewhat thin slices, and make a short stack.
- Fold the foil and wrap up tight. Since our foil this time is the cheap stuff, I used two layers... the turning of the packets in the fire can be a little hard on these little packets!
- Once your camp fire (or grill) is hot and has the hot coals *don't put the packets in the direct flames*, put your packets in the hot coals. After 8-10 minutes, use grill tongs to carefully turn the packets.
- Another 8-10 minutes and you'll have scrumptious baked onions/potatoes!
Grilled onions are fantastic as a steak topper!
The steaks, fish and chicken... I have to admit, my mouth is watering just remembering how good this was last night!
What are your favorite fall dishes?
(Ie: I need new ideas. I'm bored with my own ideas!:)
I must admit that this year, Fall has definitely won out for my favorite season. The weather is gorgeous, I am in love with our new house and yard... and things are shaping up to so well, I am ALMOST happy to see winter get here. Okay, not really. Unless its really REALLY mild, I'd really prefer to just go straight from fall to spring!
