Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-in slices
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-in slices
  • 1 beefsteak tomato, cut into quarters
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-in slices
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, washed and unpeeled
  • 8 whole garlic cloves
  • 1 pound boneless lamb stew meat, or choice of protein
  • Salt and pepper, as needed
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Olive oil
  • Chopped parsley as garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut 4 large pieces of foil and parchment paper, and lay the paper over the foil to start assembling the packets.
  2. Layer meat and veggies in a mound into the center of each sheet, starting with a layer of spinach (1 cup per packet) and dividing the other ingredients evenly. *Note: Add 2 cloves of garlic in each packet.
  3. Season with salt and pepper, then add Italian seasoning and cumin (1 tsp for each). Drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Fold edges of foil over and crimp tightly to seal. Cook in the oven for 40 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and veggies are soft.
  5. Transfer contents from the foil onto a plate to serve. Garnish with parsley (if desired) and serve with rice or a side salad.
