By request on July 4th, I served Yogurtlu Basti. This time, I got to use my brand new cardamom from a recent Penzey's order. It proved to be much, much stronger, so I decided next time to adjust the recipe down to 1/2 tsp cardamom. What a difference fresh spices can make!
Similar to last time, I had leftover yogurt, so I followed up the next day by making Mediterranean Tacos as well. Since I was headed out to MA that day, I packed it and brought it along, which worked out quite well. And I got some more taste-testers into the bargain who seemed to agree that the dish was worthy.
