Menemen

Menemen is a Turkish dish that is commonly eaten for breakfast but can also be served for lunch. It includes egg, onion, tomato, peppers and spices. If you order Menemen in a restaurant, it is often served in individual metal dishes.

Since this is a dish that is quick to prepare, healthy and delicious also promised to taste delicious, I cooked it. And what can I say... I was not disappointed.

For 1-2 serving you need:

2-3 tomatoes

1 pepper

11 onion

chili

2 eggs

2 garlic cloves

2 tbsp olive oil

caraway seed

salt

pepper

Feta cheese

How do we proceed:

Wash and cut tomatoes into cubes. Halve, deseed and dice paprika. Peel onion and dice. Chop chill and garlic

Heat the oil frying pan. Add chili and caraway seed and let the aroma spread. Stir in the onions, garlic and pepper and cook until they begin to soften. Add the tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Using a wooden spoon, create 2 pockets in the tomato mixture and crack the eggs into them. Cover the pan and cook the eggs over low heat until done. This depends how you like your eggs. I cooked them for about 10 minutes, but I think 5 minutes or even less had been enough.

Crumble Feta cheese and sprinkle over the dish. Menemen is served with garlic-flavored yogurt. For this you need to mix 5 tbsp yogurt with the 2 crushed garlic cloves and season with salt and pepper.
