Grilled Ratatouille Foil Packet Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a grill to 350 degrees F. (Or preheat the oven on its lowest temperature setting.)
• Make a large aluminum foil pouch and add the tomatoes, onions, garlic, zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant, Italian seasoning, paprika, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Gently toss together and then tightly close the aluminum pouch.
• Place the pouch over the indirect heat area of your grill (or in the oven on the lowest setting). Cook, picking up the pouch with tongs and tossing 2 to 3 times while cooking, until everything sounds soft inside, anywhere from 30 to 50 minutes depending on the cooking method.
• Pour the aluminum pouch contents into a large bowl. Add the lemon zest and a spritz of lemon juice and toss. Taste and season with salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Sprinkle over the parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Heat grill to low heat.
• Combine vegetables, garlic and 1/4 cup dressing; spoon onto large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Fold to make packet. Grill 45 min. or until vegetables are tender.
• Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening packet; drain vegetables in strainer.
• Place vegetables in large bowl. Add cheese, basil and remaining dressing; mix lightly.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• Put the tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and onion on the grill and cover. Grill the tomatoes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Grill the zucchini, eggplant and onion, turning every 5 minutes, until lightly charred and tender when poked with the tip of a small, sharp knife, 15 to 20 minutes.
• When cool enough to handle, chop all of the vegetables except the onion into bite-size pieces and add to a medium bowl. Chop the onion finely and add to the bowl. Fold in the oil, basil, parsley, thyme, garlic and 1 tablespoon salt. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Combine vegetables, garlic, pasta sauce, cheese and 1/4 cup basil; spoon evenly onto 4 large sheets heavy-duty foil sprayed with cooking spray.
• Top with fish; drizzle with vinaigrette. Fold each foil sheet to make packet.
• Refrigerate 15 min.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Place foil packets in single layer on grill grate.
• Grill 10 to 12 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork and vegetables are crisp-tender.
• Cut slits in foil packets to release steam before carefully opening packets. Sprinkle fish with remaining basil.

Steps:

• Prepare the ratatouille: Preheat the oven or a grill to 375 degrees F.
• Make a rectangle packet bottom half the size of your baking sheet using aluminum foil. Pour in the marinara sauce. Add the veggies in a pattern of zucchini, yellow squash, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and repeat. Once done, brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cover and close with aluminum foil. Place on the baking sheet and in the oven or grill and cook for 20 minutes.
• For the fish: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the butter, mustard, paprika, chili powder and garlic. Sprinkle the fish on all sides with salt and pepper. Make a foil packet bottom for the fish. For each piece of fish, place an equal amount of the spice butter on the foil, then place the fish on top and top with another equal amount of the spice butter. Cover with another piece of foil.
• Once the ratatouille has cooked 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet and remove the top from the foil packet. Place the fish packet on the baking sheet next to the ratatouille and return to the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes.
• For the rice: Squeeze the rice in the bags to loosen. Make a packet bottom a quarter of the size of the baking sheet and add the rice, cilantro and lime zest. Gently stir with a fork, then top and close tightly with another piece of foil. Place on the final space on the baking sheet next to the fish packet. Bake until the rice is hot, another 5 minutes.
• Remove the cheat sheet from the oven. Carefully open the fish packet and allow the steam to escape. Carefully open the rice packet, then spritz with lime juice and fluff. Serve immediately.
