Menemen is a Turkish egg dish made from softly scrambled eggs with tomatoes and peppers, ready in about 20 minutes in a single pan. Fresh bread goes well with it for mopping up the sauce.

Ingredients

• 4 Stück eggs
• 300 g tomatoes
• 1 Stück green bell pepper
• 1 Stück small onion
• 1 EL olive oil
• 1 TL sweet paprika powder
• 1 Prise chili flakes
• salt
• pepper
• 1 Bund parsley
• 2 Stück slices of white bread

Method

1. Peel the onion and finely dice it, remove the seeds from the pepper and cut it into small cubes, rinse the tomatoes and roughly dice them.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat, then sweat the onion and pepper in it for about 5 minutes until soft.
3. Add the diced tomatoes, paprika powder and chili flakes and simmer for another 5 minutes, until the tomatoes break down and form a thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Whisk the eggs in a bowl, pour them into the pan and let them set over low to medium heat, slowly folding them through the tomato sauce with a spatula until the egg is still slightly creamy.
5. Rinse the parsley, pick off the leaves and chop them roughly, then sprinkle over the menemen.
6. Toast the bread and serve it alongside.
