Le chou-fleur de Montalbano

Thursday Feb 03, 2011
Ce matin, j’ai fait un saut rapide à la Biocoop. Je faisais quelques courses dans le rayon fruits et légumes lorsque j’ai remarqué les choux-fleurs. Cela m’a rappelé le passage que m’avait lu mon mari la veille. Il est en train de lire le dernier roman de Andrea Camilleri sorti en poche, Les ailes du Sphinx. Le passage qu’il m’a lu est une recette de cuisine que se fait dicter le commissaire Montabano qui prend son déjeuner dans une trattoria en compagnie de son collègue Fazio. La recette était à base de chou-fleur et de saucisses. Elle était bien appétissante. Qu’y avait-il d’autre? Un oignon. Mes souvenirs s’arrêtaient là. Il faut dire que la lecture de Crime et châtiment est tellement violente qu’elle laisse peu de place au reste. J’ai donc pris un chou-fleur et des saucisses. Cet après-midi, j’ai téléphoné à mon mari. - J’ai acheté un chou-fleur et des saucisses. - Pour faire la recette de Montabano? - Oui. Elle m’a fait envie. Tu te souviens ce qu’il fallait à part les saucisses et le chou-fleur? - Un oignon. - C’est bon, j’en ai un. - C’est tout, je crois. Mais pourquoi ne vérifies-tu pas dans le livre? - Non, ce n’est pas possible. Si je commence à lire Montalbano, ne serait-ce que quelques lignes, s’en est fini de Crime et châtiment. - Je regarderai ce soir dans ce cas. Mon mari n’avait pas meilleure mémoire que moi, il fallait aussi des pommes de terre et des olives. Enfin, on a le temps d’en trouver d’ici ce week-end.
