Asian Vegetable Parcels
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. mixed mushrooms (shiitakes, oyster, button, etc.)
1/2 lb. snow peas, trimmed
8 scallions, trimmed
4 oz fresh bean sprouts
4 TBS light soy sauce
2 TBS dry sherry
2 TBS sunflower oil
1 tsp. clear honey
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 green cardamom pods, cracked
Method:
1) Wipe the mushrooms and thickly slice. Cut each scallion into 1″ lengths. Cut snow peas in 1″ lengths.
2) Pile the vegetables into the center of four 12″ squares of extra-thick foil, and then bring the sides of the foil up around the sides of the vegetables.
3) Mix the soy sauce with the rest of the ingredients. Divide the mixture equally between the parcels and then pleat the edges of the foil together to seal.
4) Cook the parcels to the side of the barbecue over medium-hot coals or on a grill for 8 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
