In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of beans sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Green or brown lentils boiled until tender but still whole, unlike red lentils, which melt into soup. They go into salads, grain bowls and stews, and in Turkey into a simple home dish with onion and tomato paste.

The numbers are for plain boiled lentils; olive oil, butter or meat in a lentil stew adds on top.
