Full Metal Packet

Hi all!  Busy day today, but it's our day off from the gym today, and tomorrow we step up the workouts...WHOO!  I'm pretty excited...but for tonight it's paperwork and work stuff, and just being...home. Which is nice, sometimes, when it's Ontario, and cold and miserable out..

Tonight's dinner, pork tenderloin with no visible fat, and veg...see below....

For the tenderloin, I preheated the barbeque on high on both sides, and when it was hot, I put the pork tenderloin on one side, rubbed all over with spices, turned down to medium...

On the other side, I put the following ( This makes enough for 2... )

Full Metal Packet

Lay out 2 sheets of tinfoil and spray with cooking spray.

Thinly slice half of a red onion and put half on each sheet
Chunk a small green zuchinni for each and lay it on the onions
Add 8 or 10 grape tomatoes or 5 cherry tomatoes, we used the grape tomatoes, whole
Pile fresh baby spinach leaves over top of it all, a good handful

Put some sea salt and coarse black pepper, and a little drizzle of olive oil over it all, then fold the two short edges together and roll them and then crunch the ends together to seal it all up. Bend up the ends a bit so that the liquid, if any, stays inside.  Poke a very small hole in each side to let steam out and put them on LOW on the other side of the barbeque.

Keep the tenderloin turning, so it cooks evenly. When the tenderloin is cooked, simply bring it all inside, give each plate a packet and slices of the tenderloin...the steam coming from the packet is very aromatic and the spinach imparts a wonderful flavour...doing this on the barbeque somehow makes it taste more awesome also...how, I do not know... it's one of life's mysteries...

If you make this I hope you enjoy it!!

Have a great night, stay warm and cozy, and it's only 13 days til Groundhog Day! 

Amy!
