Meze

I had another unremarkable day in the Office. It was raining when I went in and raining when I left, but we did have sunshine in the middle of the day.

My evening could have been unremarkable too, being stuck in the house staying dry. Instead I made pancar ezmesi - a Turkish meze. Yes, more pink food. It is one of those dishes which gives lots of bang for your buck. 

It is quick if - like me - the beetroot is in the fridge ready to peel and purée with the garlic. Add olive oil, Greek or Turkish yoghurt, dill, salt and pepper. That’s it. 

A wine delivery arrived at the end of last week, so I decided to try the Saperavi as it’s a new one to me (the vineyard, not the grape). Georgian sunshine in a glass. 

I also arranged another change of scene for my days off this week. It is good to have that to look forward to.
