1. First Tipps for Ratatouille as BBQ Vegetables

This year we had bought a fire bowl for our garden. Every German household needs such a part, really now! It is called provision for times of need.

The fire bowl has become my favourite grill in recent months. The otherwise functional grill has been standing in the cellar since then, waiting in vain for a new use.

I like the idea of first having a barbecue and then finishing the evening around the campfire. The cold late summer evenings in the north make it a win-win situation.

But now finally to the vegetables… Barbecuing vegetables on the grill is a nice thing, but it requires a lot of effort. Besides, the vegetables like to fall from the grill into the embers, which annoys the cook. So I took my old roaster out of the drawer for this vegetable dish. That is practical.

Use roaster on the grill, this saves effort and produces tasty vegetables and vegetable juice!
