Menemen
Eggs cooked into tomatoes and green pepper. They are never beaten and rarely stirred, or you end up with ordinary scrambled eggs.
2 servings · 30 minutes (estimated)

Ingredients
Quantities for 2 servings.
- 4 piece Ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped
- 2 piece Long green peppers
- 4 piece Eggs
- 20 g Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Pul biber flakes
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- to taste White cheese
- to taste Salt
Method
- Slice the peppers into rings and fry them in the two fats for three or four minutes, until the edges start to darken.
- Add the tomatoes, salt them and cook over medium heat for ten minutes. Wait for the oil to separate and glisten at the edges — that is the sign the water has gone.
- Lower the heat, break the eggs straight into the sauce and scatter the pepper flakes. Stir slowly and only two or three times, leaving streaks of yolk.
- Take it off when the white has set and the yolk is still loose: the pan finishes the job. Scatter over the oregano and the cheese.
