Pouch Potatoes

I love trying new ways to cook potatoes.  They go with any meal, are easy to flavor, and can be cooked in so many different ways.  Here, I tried steaming the potatoes in an aluminum foil pouch that I baked in the oven.  I imagine you could do the same thing on the grill.  This recipe is also very open to different flavors by just changing what goes into the pouch.  Instead of rosemary and olive oil… try paprika and chili powder, or dijon mustard and lemon thyme, or even citrus zest!

Pouch Potatoes

Pieces:

  1. one to two pounds small red potatoes
  2. 3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  3. 2 tbsp. olive oil
  4. 2 tbsp. vegan butter
  5. 2 tsp. salt
  6. 2 tsp. lemon pepper

Process:

  1. Cut the potatoes into quarters, or bite sized.
  2. Using a large piece of aluminum foil, create a pouch by putting the potatoes on top of the foil.  Then sprinkle the olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, and rosemary on top and fold up the sides of the foil.
  3. Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes, or until fork tender.  You could also steam on the grill, keeping the lid to the grill closed.
  4. Serve hot!

White Beans with Rosemary and Lemon

Over the summer, my mom and I went to a great little cafe for lunch.  I ordered a delicious Greek salad that came with a side of white beans.  The white beans were the best part of the lunch!  I just had to try to re-create them at home.  I think they turned out great, and would be a great side dish to any meal.  And, they only took about 10 minutes to make!

White Beans with Rosemary and Lemon

  1. one 15 oz. can white cannellini beans
  2. 2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
  3. 2 tbsp. olive oil
  4. 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  5. generous pinch of salt and pepper

Process:

  1. Drain the can of beans.
  2. In a large saute pan, pour half of the beans.  Mash them with a potato masher.
  3. Pour in the other half of the drained beans.
  4. Over medium heat, add the rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. Cook just until heated through.
  6. Serve hot.
