Grilled Honey Barbecue Meatball Packets Recipes

Steps:

• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Spray half of one side of four 18x12-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray.
• Mix barbecue sauce, honey and cumin in small bowl. Place 1 pork chop, 3 pieces corn, 1/4 cup carrots and 1/2 cup potato wedges on center of each sprayed foil sheet; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spoon 3 tablespoons sauce mixture over pork and vegetables on each sheet.
• Fold foil over pork and vegetables so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion.
• Grill packets 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until pork is slightly pink in center. Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil.

Steps:

• Heat grill. Cut four 18x12-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil; spray half of one side of each foil sheet with nonstick cooking spray. In small bowl, combine barbecue sauce and honey; blend well.
• Place 4 meatballs, 2 onion slices, 2 cobs of corn and 1/2 cup sliced potatoes on center of sprayed side of each sheet of foil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon 2 1/2 tablespoons sauce mixture onto meatballs and vegetables on each foil sheet.
• Fold foil over meatballs and vegetables so edges meet. Wrap packets securely using double-fold seals, allowing room for heat expansion, then fold again.
• When ready to grill, place packets on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 20 to 25 minutes or until meatballs are thoroughly heated and potatoes are tender, turning several times.
• Cut large X in center of each foil packet; open packets carefully to allow steam to escape.

Steps:

• Make yogurt sauce:
• Line a large sieve with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl. Spoon the yogurt into the sieve and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours to drain off the excess water. You should end up with 1 1/2 to 2 cups drained yogurt. Place the yogurt in a bowl and stir in the garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Fold in the mint and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Make the onion salad:
• Place the onion slices in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss and let stand for 15 minutes. Rinse well and pat dry. In a bowl, combine the onions, parsley, coriander, and turmeric. Toss well and set aside.
• Preheat the grill or broiler.
• In a bowl, combine the beef, onions, garlic, eggs, thyme, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until mixture holds together well. Form into twelve 3-inch ovals, about 1 1/2-inches wide and thread them onto metal skewers.
• Brush the meatballs with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the skewers on an oiled grill rack or broiler pan and grill or broil, turning to brown on all sides, until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
• Remove the skewers from the grill or broiler and slip the meatballs off the skewers. Cut the pitas into halves and place a meatball into each half. Serve with the yogurt sauce, onion salad, and tomato slices on the side
