I’ll carry on the burger post later. I thought I’d better do something that involves a photograph for the moment.
The photograph is Sausages with Roasted Ratatouille. It’s not quite the same as the recipe photograph that I had. My vegetables never seem to cook as attractively as the ones in recipe pictures. It also didn’t help that I forgot to buy peppers and couldn’t get the right sausages. And they said red onions but I could only get the small size in brown. That probably made a difference too.
Despite this it didn’t turn out too badly in the end, and with a bit of rearrangement three floppy mini peppers from the back of the salad drawer put up quite a decent show.
Roasted Ratatouille
I was quite pleased with the way it worked out and it had a good flavour thanks to three cloves of wrinkly garlic (you could probably use ordinary garlic but I always leave mine hanging round for a few weeks to mature) and a couple of sprigs of rosemary from the garden.
As long as I can use my own rosemary I can pretend I’m a proper cook.
The other good thing about this dish is that I’m never in a hurry to eat vegetables so I remembered to take the photograph. I’m also not embarrassed about taking pictures of my food like I am when I’m in public. (See comments from beatingthebounds in the previous post about this.)
Looks good.
It surprised me by being better than I’d expected.
Who cares about exact ingredients. It looks delicious. No-one has ever looked askance at my photographing meals in public – give it a go
I’m with you on the ingredients but having once been pointed at by a small child who shouted “Mum, why’s that man photographing his fish and chips?” I’m mentally scarred.

One of our favourite dinners so delicious!
We’ve had things like it before – Julia kikes them but I’m not keen. For some reason this was better than usual and I did enjoy it. Will have to do it again soon.
Looks very tasty. Garlic and rosemary are a winning combination.
They worked well, I may have to do more of it.
Looks wonderful. I do this sort of thing all the time but without the meat, just veggies…garlic, oil, rosemary and thyme. And the more colors the merrier!
I will be doing it again, so I may try the meat-free version.
Yummy. It looks pretty good!
It was very good (he said, modestly) with only garlic and rosemary added to the natural veg flavours. I was surprised how good the flavour was.
At least veg roasted with some nice fatty meat have a bit more flavour! On the public food photo front, we clearly need our own Q type figure to provide a wide-angle camera discreetly hidden in a stylish lapel-badge. Doesn’t quite fit the adrenaline junky Go-pro target audience image, but maybe they’ll branch out. On reflection, a middle-aged man wearing a hidden camera in public might find himself facing a range of other difficulties. Perhaps not.
We could build a camera into a fork, like the one they use in dictionary corner on Countdown. Apart from the fact ours would have three prongs on the end.
I keep thinking of buying a smaller camera for this sort of work.
