And we have Darryl to thank for today’s Recipe…

These are the steps as stated by him…

First lay out some tin foil, and put some olive oil, salt, and lots of pepper (or a little depending on how much you love pepper, Darryl thinks everything is better with lots of pepper)

Scrub and clean your fresh dug red potatoes and snap the ends of your beans

Lay the veggies on the foil and then crush up some Sage; sprinkle it on top

Dice up a clove of garlic add it on top

Next in a very artful fashion fold up your tinfoil into a little tent

Place the tent on the grill for 15 minutes

Open the tent very carefully there will be lots of stream from the veggies

ENJOY!!!

With so many delicious herbs it is easy to get them mixed up… here is a picture guide and description…

   The fresh Red Potatoes are ready to be dug…..

  Here is a super simple way I make a side dish out of them…

  Scrub them clean in the sink under water

  Fill a pot of boiling water and cook the potatoes until they are soft

  While they are cooking; in the food processor add onions, garlic, a little butter, and some of your favorite herbs…. in this picture I added basil, and cilantro….

 Blend up those, and then add the potatoes when they are done cooking, add some   milk to smooth them out and a touch of salt and pepper to taste…

  Done and done …. serve and enjoy!!!
