Trucker Veggies And Pork Chops

Trucker Veggies And Pork ChopsTrucker Veggies And Pork Chops — A long-haul trucker who worked the mine roads far from truck stops and diners told us how he noshed when he stopped for the night.

He’d make a mix of veggies with some meat, spice them according to his preference, wrap them in aluminum foil, and store them in his cooler. When quitting time came, he’d grill them over a camp fire by the side of his truck with a pot of coffee.

He said it was a wonderfully sublime experience eating on the prairie beneath a  star-filled sky.

And, of course, there were no dishes to wash.

Well, here is our riff on his recipe:

Dice carrots and a potato, and add a sliced onion. Smother them with salt, pepper, powdered garlic and dried parsley; bathe them in olive oil, wrap in foil and place on a hot grill for between 10 and 15 minutes.

Yum.

We had them with pork chops seasoned about the same way sans the parsley.

No coffee though. The wine was a Merlot.
