In Doy’s garden

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

Turkish rice pilaf is rice toasted in butter, often with orzo or vermicelli, then steamed in water or stock until every grain is separate. It sits beside almost every stew, from kuru fasulye to chicken dishes.

Restaurant pilaf often has more butter than homemade, and a second spoonful adds up fast.
