Grilled Feta Foil Parcels
These feta foil parcels are the easiest way to get veg onto the grill. Everything goes into a single piece of foil, folds up into a neat little parcel and cooks away all by itself on the grate. The best part: you can swap the veg and seasonings to suit your taste and get a slightly different result every time. Add a juicy piece of meat or more grilled veg like mushrooms, courgette or avocado to turn each parcel into a complete plate.
Ingredients
- 250 g feta
- 2 tomatoes

The ingredient amounts above scale with your choice. The value per serving stays the same, while the total in the pot grows with the number of servings.

How this is calculated
Target amount = ingredient amount × target servings ÷ base servings. The result is then rounded for kitchen use: from 100 g or ml to the nearest 5, between 1 and 99 to the nearest 1, pieces and spoons to half units, amounts below one unit to quarters, thirds or halves. Teaspoons and tablespoons also go down to an eighth, kilograms and litres stay finer.
Total = value per serving × target servings. The value per serving is unchanged, because ingredient amount and serving count change by the same factor.

- European Commission, Guidance document for competent authorities for the control of compliance with EU food law, setting of tolerances for nutrient values declared on a label, December 2012.
Nutrition values are estimates from the recipe record, not laboratory results. Even for checked labels the EU sets tolerances: for fat, protein and carbohydrates 20 percent in the range of 10 to 40 g per 100 g, and 2 g per 100 g below that. Home cooking varies more, because variety, size and cooking loss of the ingredients differ. Kitchen rounding also shifts the total slightly against the plain rule of three. Anyone who has to keep amounts exact for medical reasons, for example during a nutrition therapy prescribed by a doctor, should discuss them with a doctor or a registered dietitian.
