What's for Supper?

Charlie’s Delight

This is a quick and easy dish concocted by my sister-in-law that can be done in the oven or on the grill. It will serve two to three and the cleanup is a snap.

Hardware: Large sheet of Aluminum foil

Cookie Sheet

Software: 1 Kielbasa

1 Can of New potatoes or several small red potatoes

1 Small onion sliced

3 Sprigs of Rosemary

6 Cloves of garlic skinned and slightly crushed

Olive oil

1 Generous pinch of kosher salt

Several grinds of pepper

Tear off a large sheet of aluminum foil – be generous as it is going to be used to make a pouch to wrap all the ingredients. Place the Kielbasa in the center, the potatoes within the ring of the sausage. Place the sprigs of Rosemary on either side of the kielbasa and scatter the garlic cloves around the outside. Sprinkle salt and grind pepper over the entire dish, cover with sliced onions, and then drizzle olive oil over the whole thing.

Fold the sides of the foil up and roll together to create a pouch, crimping the ends tightly. Set the oven to 350 or indirect heat on the grill. If using the oven place the sealed pouch on a cookie sheet to prevent seepage. Bake or grill for 45 minutes, carefully unwrap pouch and check potatoes for doneness (should be fork tender) and then serve. For clean up wrap the foil back up and discard.

Note: This technique works well with thick pork chops, chicken breasts and fish as well.
