Flavours

Flavours

Garlic and chilli prior to being mortar and pestled for bolognese sauce. They were crushed along with a dash of virgin olive oil, whole black and red peppercorns, rock salt and fresh basil picked from my garden. Eventually cooked and simmered slightly with a brown onion, a dash of red wine and kalamata olives thrown in the mix along with some chopped fresh tomatoes. I took this image because I loved the organic natural woody textures and tones that beset them in the kitchen light. :))

    Although a little dark and blotchy in the background (which might be another vegetable, but unsure), I really love the composition of this piece. Agree with other comments, this would make a great restaurant or kitchen wall-hanging.

  • salsbells69 replied

    Thanks Stephen, the dark blotchy background is the granite mortar and pestle. The light wasnt strong enough as it was only natural light. Thanks for stopping by for a look. Your time and comments are appreciated :))
