In Doy’s garden

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

This entry covers green bell peppers and the long, thin green peppers used all over Turkey, from mild to fiery. They are sliced at breakfast, grilled beside kebabs, cooked into menemen and stuffed for dolma.

Peppers add very little, but fried or stuffed peppers carry the oil, rice or meat that goes with them.
