In Doy’s garden

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

Fresh spinach leaves, eaten raw in salads and smoothies or wilted into eggs, pasta and stews. In Turkey spinach is often cooked with onion, rice or minced meat and served with yogurt, or folded into börek and gözleme.

A big bowl of raw leaves cooks down to a few spoonfuls, so weigh spinach before cooking if you can.
