In Doy’s garden
Log it in Doydum and a row of beans sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.
Hummus is cooked chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice, garlic and olive oil into a smooth dip. It is scooped up with bread as a meze, and in parts of Turkey it comes warm, topped with pastırma or butter.
An extra pool of olive oil on top adds noticeably, and the bread you scoop with counts separately.
