Grilled Maple Sausage And Butternut Squash Foil Packs Recipes

GRILLED SAUSAGE AND PEPPER FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Lay two 18-inch-long sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil on a flat surface.
• 2. Cut a long slit in each sausage about two-thirds of the way through and flatten gently so it opens like a book. Divide the sausages between the 2 pieces of foil. Toss the peppers and onions with the oil, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and put on top of the sausages.
• 3. Bringing the short sides of the foil together, fold the seams together twice and then tuck the ends in and up to seal. Put the foil packets on the grill and grill, 17 to 20 minutes. Open the foil, being careful of steam; the sausages will be charred and have grill marks on the bottom and the vegetables will be tender. If not, just throw the packets back on the grill, unsealed, for a few more minutes until done.
• 4. Divide among 4 plates and serve with crusty bread or garlic bread.

GRILLED MAPLE- AND PECAN-TOPPED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Cut four 18x12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil. Cut each squash lengthwise in half; remove seeds. Place squash half, cut side up, on each piece of foil. Sprinkle with salt.
• In small bowl, mix butter, orange peel and 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup. Brush over squash halves. Fold foil over squash so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion.
• Cover and grill packets over medium-low heat 50 to 60 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after 25 minutes, until squash is tender. Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil. Sprinkle pecans over squash; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPER PACKETS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Lay two 18-inch-long sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil on a flat surface.
• Cut a long lengthwise slit in each sausage about two-thirds of the way through and flatten gently so it opens like a book. Divide the sausages between the 2 pieces of foil. Toss the peppers and onions with the oil, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and divide evenly between the foil pieces.
• Fold and seal the edges of each packet. Grill 17 to 20 minutes; the sausages will be charred with grill marks on the bottom and the vegetables will be tender. Carefully open the packets, watching for the escaping steam. If necessary, throw the packets back on the grill, unsealed, for a few more minutes. Garnish with the parsley.
