Menemen
Menemen is named after the Turkish town of the same name and remains one of the country's most beloved breakfast dishes.
A Turkish breakfast staple of eggs gently scrambled into a skillet of softened peppers, tomatoes, and spices — simple, homely, and eaten straight from the pan with bread.
Ingredients
Method
Soften the pepper in oil until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes and chilli flakes, cooking down until thick and jammy, about 8 minutes.
Crack in the eggs directly and stir gently, letting them scramble softly into the tomato mixture.
Scatter with feta if using, and serve immediately straight from the pan with crusty bread.
Keep the eggs slightly loose and soft — menemen is meant to be a little wet, not fully set like an omelette.
