Ingredients
4 pieces of tomato
4 pieces of pepper
40 ml. of olive oil
10 gr. salt
1 clove of garlic
2 eggs

Key Points

Cooking over high heat to allow the tomatoes to release their juice thoroughly enhances the intensity of the flavour. When adding the eggs, letting them cook slowly, rather than stirring quickly, provides a better texture. You can add a variety of your favourite spices to customise the menemen according to your personal tastes.

How to Cook?

Cut the tomatoes into small cubes. Optionally, you can prefer to peel the skins of the tomatoes.
Chop the peppers finely and in the shape of a ring.
Cut the peeled garlic cloves into thin slices.
After heating the frying pan a little, add the olive oil.
Add the chopped peppers and garlic into the frying pan and fry them until the peppers get soft.
Add the chopped tomatoes onto the roasted peppers and garlic. Then, cook the ingredients until the tomatoes release their juice thoroughly and bring to a boil.
Break the eggs over the tomatoes.
Optionally, you can either leave the eggs whole or break the yolks and mix them together.
Add salt and other spices you prefer to the menemen.
You may prefer to serve the cooked menemen while it is still hot.
You can also add chilli flakes or black pepper when serving.
