Cajun Sausage And Peppers Foil Packs Recipes

SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS FOIL PACK

Steps:

CAJUN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
• Mix tomatoes and chicken broth in 4-cup glass measuring cup. Add instant rice; stir and let stand about 8 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. In small bowl, mix bell pepper and half of the green onions.
• Place equal amount of sausage on center of each sheet of foil. Scoop about 1/2 cup of the bell pepper mixture on top of sausage on each. Dividing evenly, spoon rice around sausage and vegetables. Divide any remaining soaking liquid over tops of vegetables. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning.
• Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 6 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 6 to 7 minutes longer or until sausage is heated through. Remove packs from grill; cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil; stir to mix, and sprinkle with remaining green onions.

FOIL-PACKET JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Combine the frozen rice, scallions (white and light green parts only), celery, garlic, bell pepper, sausage, tomatoes, okra, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl; toss well.
• Lay out four 18-inch-long sheets of nonstick heavy-duty foil on a work surface. Divide the rice mixture among the foil sheets. Bring the two short ends of the foil together and fold to seal, then fold in the sides and seal to make flat packets.
• Grill the foil packets, flipping once, until the vegetables are tender and the rice and sausage are hot, about 8 minutes per side. Carefully open and top with the dark scallion greens.

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.
