MENEMEN (TURKISH-STYLE SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PEPPERS)

Menemen is a Turkish dish of scrambled eggs cooked with peppers, tomatoes, onions and seasonings. It is incredibly satisfying. Here is the recipe.
HOW TO MAKE MENEMEN – THE RECIPE METHOD
First, heat up a large pan to medium heat and add in your olive oil. Toss in some onion, peppers and chili flakes and cook them down about 5 minutes, until everything is nice and softened.
there is debate on whether or not to include onion with traditional Menemen, so feel free to omit them. I included them because I love the flavor. add some garlic and cook another minute until you can smell the garlic. So good. Add in your tomatoes with a bit of salt and pepper and stir them up. Cook them down until the tomatoes soften and lose some of their juices. Don’t let the pan dry out. About 10 minutes or so. Next, beat the eggs in a bowl very lightly, then pour them into the pan. Tilt the pan a bit to let the egg mixture drip into the many nooks and crannies of your sauce. Do not mix it through. Cook them a couple minutes, or until the eggs are starting to set. Remove from heat and let the eggs finish cooking in the warm sauce, a few minutes more. If you prefer your eggs more set, just cook them longer as desired. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, crumbly feta cheese and spicy chili flakes. Serve with warmed bread or tortillas.
RECIPE NOTES:
The Oil. One key to this recipe is the amount of oil you’re using. It may sound like a lot of oil, but it is necessary for the final flavor of the dish, so don’t skimp on the oil.
The Bread. You can serve it with crusty bread, which is traditional, but we also enjoy serving our Menemen with tortillas for a nice breakfast taco.
Meal Variation. If you want to serve your Menemen as a main course, you can easily add in some meat, like crumbly sausage or chicken, to make it more of a meal.
