Mushroom, Garlic and Onion Packet
- Course: Side Dish
- Features: Fast, Healthy, Grilling
Summary:
Pre-sliced fresh mushroom mixes come in handy here.
4 to 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 pound sliced mixed mushrooms
- 1 large onion, halved and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 medium cloves garlic, crushed
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 1 tablespoon canola oil, olive oil or unsalted butter
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Prepare the grill. If using a gas grill, heat it to medium-high. If using a charcoal grill, start the charcoal or wood briquettes; when the briquettes are ready, distribute them evenly under the cooking area for direct and indirect heat (medium-low).
Cut an 18-by-26-inch length of heavy-duty aluminum foil and a slightly shorter piece of parchment paper (13 inches wide). Lay the parchment paper on top of the dull side of the foil.
Toss together the mushrooms, onion, garlic, thyme, oil or butter, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Place the vegetable mixture in the center of the parchment, then fold the paper over the mushrooms. Seal the packet with crimped folds -- first lengthwise, then widthwise. Grill for 15 minutes, turning once. Move the packet to the cool side of the grill until ready to use. Open the packet carefully to avoid any escaping steam; discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the vegetable mixture to a platter or divide among individual plates. Serve hot or warm.
