Ingredients
- 4 large free range eggs
- 1 large tomato (or 3 medium tomatoes finely chopped)
- 1 medium onion (peeled & finely shopped)
- 2 green sivri biber (or 1 small green bell pepper deseeded & finely chopped)
- 1 handful parsley (freshly chopped)
- 2 teaspoons hot chilli flakes (or Aleppo pepper) (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon thyme (or oregano)
- salt & pepper (to season)
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Add a small glug of sunflower oil to a frying pan and heat gently over a medium heat.
- First of all, add your onions and sauté for a few minutes until they become translucent.
- Now add your green pepper and stir for a few minutes until it starts to soften.
- Now stir in your chopped tomato and add your herbs and spices and salt and pepper.
- Simmer over a low heat until your tomato cooks down to form a thick tomato sauce.
- Crack your eggs into the pan and stir them until they are scrambled into the mixture.
- Remove from the heat and garnish with your parsley.
- Serve alone or as part of a larger breakfast.
Notes
- As with all of our recipes, calories are approximate and will differ depending on your ingredients.
- Turkish summer tomatoes are very large, hence we use only one. They are equivalent to 3-4 medium-sized vine tomatoes.
- If you want a richer flavour, you can add some crumbled feta cheese to your menemen recipe at the same time as your eggs.
