In Doy’s garden

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

Olive paste is black olives ground with olive oil into a dark, salty spread, sometimes with herbs or garlic. In Turkey it is a breakfast staple, spread thinly on bread or toast next to cheese and tomatoes.

Most of its numbers come from the olive oil, so a thick layer on bread adds more than it looks.
