Menemen - Turkish Style Scrambled Eggs
Scrambled eggs cooked with peppers, onions and tomatoes and seasoned with paprika and oregano
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp hot paprika or use regular or smoked - I used a mix of all 3 for maximum flavor
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1 small onion diced
- 3/4 cup diced green pepper whatever type you like
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chopped, peeled tomato
- 4 eggs beaten
- sliced chives, scallions, feta, or hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Note this recipe is for 2 servings. If you want more just increase the ingredients. I doubled it.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, peppers and seasonings. Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are very soft, 8-10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until they darken. Taste and season.
- Add the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set. Season with more salt and pepper. Serve with toppings as desired along with some toast.
