Foil Packet Dinners
One of the amazing things about the summer season is the ability to grill out after being stuck in the house all winter. Anything from cuts of meat to farm fresh vegetables come out delicious with that smoky/char-grilled flavor. Integrating a foil packet into your grill rotation can elevate any meal to the next level. Simply throw some mushrooms and onions into a piece of foil, add it onto the grill while you cook up the perfect steak and create an easy and appetizing accompaniment to impress your dinner guests. There are many different ways to put together a wonderful meal using foil packets and Kuhn’s Market has all of the ingredients you could need to follow through with these dishes.A foil packet favorite is making the perfect fajita veggies for your at home bowls. Cut up some onions, green & red peppers, mushrooms and season them to your liking. Adding salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder can enhance the taste and bring out the fresh flavors from the vegetables. While you grill up some chicken thighs or a flank steak, add your vegetables onto the opposite side of the grill. Allowing these vegetables to cook properly in the steam and heat from the grill will add an element of interest to the vegetables that will truly elevate your meal. Once cooked through, add with your grilled meat on top of a bed of rice, lettuce, beans or anything else you would like as your base. Top with some fresh salsa and avocado and you have a delicious meal loaded with flavors.
The summer time also offers the opportunity to take advantage of the fresh seafood that is so popular during the season. Foil packets make it easy to add tilapia or salmon with some organic lemon, seasonings and some asparagus on the grill. This is where you can sit back and allow the grill to do the work. As long as the fish has reached a proper internal temperature, you are free to enjoy the mouthwatering dish. Kuhn’s offers a wonderful array of seafood options for you to choose from and create the summer dish of your dreams.
Another benefit of foil packets is how family friendly they are. Dealing with picky eaters or guests with contrasting food preferences can get tough with finding something everyone can enjoy. Foil prepared meals allow you to customize what toppings go in each packet so that you don’t have to spend the extra time picking onions off of your picky eater’s plate. This also allows you to season different packets with unique flavors and see which ends up being the favorite. Make this a fun family gathering or date night experience where you all build your own packet and cherish the bonding moment.
