Parchment ideas

[2DogsFarm]

I have gotten hooked on cooking in parchment - no cleanup!

So far I've made tilapia, salmon & chicken breast.
Sat them all on a bed of sliced veggies - carrots, onions, cabbage - seasoned with S&P, whatever herb sounded good, drizzled with olive oil and bake on a cookie sheet.

Both fish & chicken came out moist & flavored by the veggies underneath.

Does anyone have a favorite "en papillotte" recipe to share?

I do the same with catfish fillets. Season them with cajun seasoning, sliced lemons, bell pepper, onion & celery chopped up, add some diced tomatoes over all & bake- baking time depends on thickness of the fish but usually about 30 minutes at around 425 degrees. Serve over rice. Yummy!

Parchment is so expensive compared to heavy duty aluminum foil (food on the shiny side). I do the same with foil, I save the parchment for inserting in bread pans for my banana nut bread or when baking off ciabatta rolls or baguettes. I also use the parchment to let my naan rounds rise before frying them in the skillet.

In speaking of parchment, I have always wondered why some receipes call for greasing a dish, then putting parchment or wax paper on it then greasing again. Can anyone clarify that for me??? If I grease my pan one time, seems like that should be enough.

D'OH!
I agree parchment is Da Bomb for baking - my cookies/scones, etc never stick or burn on parchment.
However, I don't do much of that, so I had the roll laying in my cupboard.
You can bet I won't replace it for other use if foil will work the same.
I always have foil

Thanks for the reminder, BigMike​
