🛒 Ingredients

Tap ingredients to tick them off as you shop or cook ✔️

• 4 eggs
• 3 ripe tomatoes, skinned and chopped
• 2 green Turkish peppers (or 1 green pepper), sliced
• 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
• 1 tsp pul biber
• salt
• bread to serve

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Soften the peppers in the butter over medium heat, 5 min.
2. Add the tomatoes and cook them right down, 8 min, until the liquid has gone and it looks jammy. Rushing this makes watery menemen.
3. Season, add the pul biber.
4. Crack the eggs straight in and stir them slowly through the tomato with a wooden spoon.
5. Take it off the heat while they still look slightly underdone — they finish in the pan.
6. Onion is a regional flashpoint in Turkey. Add it or don't; someone will be annoyed either way.
