In Doy’s garden

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

Şakşuka is a Turkish cold meze of fried eggplant, peppers and sometimes zucchini in a garlicky tomato sauce. It is not the egg dish shakshuka; in Turkey it is eaten with bread or alongside a spoon of yogurt.

Frying the vegetables is where the oil comes from, so oven-roasted şakşuka comes out noticeably lower.
