Chef's Tip

I always save my bacon fat and save it for a recipe like this one.

Directions:

  1. Preheat the charcoal grill to at least 375°F. 
  2. Wash the potatoes, trim the outer leaves from the brussel sprouts, and peel the onions. 
  3. Add all the vegetables to a mixing bowl with the oil or fat, rosemary sprigs, salt and pepper.
  4. Add the potato mixture to a large cast iron skillet.
  5. Add a few Alder smoking blocks to the coals, place the skillet on the grill grates and close the lid.
  6. The dish is ready when the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes. Serve immediately. 

*Keep a spray bottle of water handy in case of flare-ups.
