Manray thought the eggplant was just too perfect not to photographic it so we made a quick setup using the ingredients from last night's supper. I don't have much experience with food porn so this was also a great exercise for my photographic skills.
Lighting info:
Camera right: SB-800, white brolly, 1/4 CTO
Camera left: SB-600, silver reflective brolly, 1/4 CTO
(I should have let more light spill onto the background.)
As for the dinner, we sliced the eggplant, drained it, brushed the pieces with oil*, added pepper and basil and roasted at 400F for about 20 mins. The tomatoes were sliced in half and roasted for about 5-10 mins. The tortillas were warmed on a skillet and given a good dollop of hummus then filled with lettuce, the roasted eggplant and tomato and drizzled with a little tahini dressing.
Next time we'll add some falafel to the wrap.
* The olive oil picture is from our honeymoon in Croatia last spring...the oil is so delicious that we've been trying to use it as sparingly as possible!

Eggplant is always the centerfold of food porn, isn't it? It really is a sexy vegetable, especially halved, oiled down, salted and grilled.
I unfortunately just let 3 eggplants get wrinkly and bitter - what a waste. Sound like you had a good dinner though.

Damn you, you're making me both randy and hungry!
