Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the grill to medium high (I tried to keep my temperature gauge between 400 and 450 degrees.In a bowl, toss together zucchini, bell peppers, tomato, olive oil, Kosher salt, and black pepper. Set aside.For each packet, you will need 2 large (about 20 inches long) sheets of foil, or just 1 sheet if it’s the heavy duty kind.Lay your foil out and spray with cooking spray. Alternatively, you can brush them with olive oil.Since my fish was frozen, I first rinsed them in cold water then patted them dry. If they’re fresh, you can skip this step.Lay one fish fillet on the foil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place three thin slivers of butter on top of the fish. Put two slices of lemon on top of the butter. Place a few sprigs of dill on top of that.Place ¼ of the vegetables, including capers beside the fish.Fold the long sides of the foil in towards the center and roll over to seal. Seal up the edges as well.Repeat with remaining fillets and vegetables.Place on the preheated grill, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes. Mine took a little longer because they were frozen. To serve, carefully remove them from the grill and peel back the foil layer. Fish are done when they are white (not translucent) and flake easily with a fork. Serve in the foil packet or on plates with the sauce from the bottom of the packet.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
