Campfire BBQ favorites
My favorite part of baja prep, second only to filling the cooler, is menu prep. We cook over coals and figuring out simple, semi-clean BBQ menus is a
blast. I'm curious to get some new ideas. What's your must have baja campfire meal? BESIDES lobster!

Green Bell Peppers.
BBQ them until they're completely soft.
Peel the outer skin off.
Cut into strips.
Soak them in olive oil.
Add minced garlic.
Salt to taste.
Goes well with meat dishes. Or salmon.

We do something similar to Igor's green pepper recipe:
Grill some Anaheim chiles
Clean out the seeds
Peel off outer skin
Stuff with jack cheese
Place back on grill wrapped in foil
Eat while hot and steamy
Serve with BBQ'd fish and fresh salsa

Shari, this is one of my favorites. We call them Turbo Tators. Wash the potato with salt water, cut into 3rds and slather with garlic, butter,
spices and hot sauce. wrap them good in foil (heavy duty) and set them on top of the coal starter (the large coffee can with a handle looking thing )
turn them once in a while being carefull not to tear the foil. When the coals are ready to BBQ the Turbo Tators are done and just have to be set on
the side of the grill to keep warm. It is always requested by those who have had them.

Here is another grilled pepper recipe...from the former outdoor Torta grill located on the main street of Mulege in the late 90s... Obtain three or
four
Jalapeno peppers per person, grill along side whatever else you are doing over an open fire (Mexican charcoal is best) When done, the stems will
barely stay on, but don't blacken. Place in a small bowl and squeeze Limon juice over, and equal parts of soy sauce. From the same vine, some of these
peppers will put streams of tears down your face, and others can be much milder. These will look like what Pompano is preparing in the photo above.
They work like hush puppies....keep the guests quiet while the main dish cooks. (did I say a cold fresh Pacifico??)

We try to bring mesquite for BBQing since it adds so much flavor...one of our favorites is freshly caught halibut wrapped in bacon with stems of fresh
rosemary (put inside the fishbasket on both sides of the halibut). After the first side is cooked turn the fish and spread on butter and lemon juice,
letting it soak in while the other side cooks.

I'm with Shari on the foil wrapped papas, but I also add carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes, onion, and some garden-grown rosemary.
Hubby always likes his fish in foil, too. Usually adds onions, peppers, tomatoes, salt and pepper, butter, and sometimes lemon.

Herman in Bahia de Los Angeles used to make the best tasting onions. He would peel the outer flakes off just a bit, slather the onion in oil, core out
the center of the onion and stuff it with chopped garlic. Wrap the onion in heavy duty foil and set them on the grill.
We also like a tri tip that has whole cloves of garlic stuffed into the meat prior to cooking.
P<*))))>{
(on edit: Those would be sweet or brown onions)

My current favorite things are Chicken sausages from Costco:
Chicken/apple/gouda cheese and Chicken/spinach/Feta cheese in particular.
Sounds kinda gross as I'm writing this, but you won't believe how good these things are.
Eat em on a bun like hotdogs, put em in omelets (the best), use as a pizza topping, or make shishkabobs with sausages and shrimp etc. Only
150-160 calories a piece.
I'm down to only 2 sausages left in my freezer and no scheduled trips North on the horizon- these are sad times. 
In the meantime, if I accidentally snag a halibut while trying to catch a corbina as usual, I'll try Mexitron's tip. Thank goodness Paulina's onion
thing sounds good and I'm fond of the foil papas too.
