In Doy’s garden

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

Hünkar beğendi, or Sultan's delight, is tender lamb or beef stew served on a creamy purée of smoky roasted eggplant, butter, flour, milk and kashar cheese. It is an Ottoman palace dish and a favourite for special dinners.

The eggplant purée holds most of the butter and cheese, so a bigger bed of it changes the total most.
