Menemen- Turkish scrambled eggs recipe - Quick easy breakfast

Menemen Recipe (Turkish Scrambled Eggs With Peppers)
Menemen is a beloved traditional Turkish dish, perfect for suhoor during Ramadan. This hearty meal combines the rich flavours of eggs, peppers, tomatoes, and spices, all cooked down in a pan with a blend of butter and olive oil. Often referred to as the “Turkish Omelet,” Menemen is not only delicious but also easy to prepare and incredibly satisfying.
Ingredients:
* 2 tablespoons butter or ghee, with a splash of olive oil
* 1 small onion, diced (optional - white or yellow)
* 1 cup chopped peppers (use Aleppo if available, or red bell peppers; I’ve used a mix of red and green bell peppers)
* 2 cloves garlic, chopped
* 1 teaspoon spicy chilli flakes (Aleppo preferred, but paprika or cayenne work as substitutes)
* 3 tomatoes, with their juices (I steam tomatoes first, then skin them off and chop)
* 3 eggs
* Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving:
* Crusty bread or small tortillas
* Spicy chilli flakes
* Fresh chopped parsley or basil
Instructions:
* Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the butter with olive oil.
* Add the onion, garlic, and peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
* Boil tomatoes in water for 2-3 minutes until soft, then remove the skin and chop, keeping all the juices.
* Add chilli flakes, Aleppo pepper, salt, and cook for another minute.
* Add the tomatoes and stir well. Cook until the tomatoes soften and lose some of their juices. Ensure the pan doesn’t dry out.
* Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl, then pour into the pan.
* Cook until the eggs begin to set. Remove from heat and let the eggs finish cooking in the warm sauce for a few more minutes. Adjust cooking time based on desired egg consistency.
* Sprinkle with fresh parsley, Aleppo pepper, or a substitute like cayenne or paprika.
Optional:
* Top with crumbled feta cheese before serving.
