POV Menemen (Turkish Eggs with Peppers and Tomato)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Menemen is a Turkish dish that should be more famous than it is. It's one of my favorite breakfast (or lunch, or dinner, or whenever) dishes ever. Tomatoes, peppers, good olive oil, eggs, and a little magic. Your mouth won't know what hit it.
Or maybe it will know exactly what hit it: Tomatoes, peppers, good olive oil, eggs, and a little magic.
You can get a written recipe (that I never actually follow) here on Serious Eats: www.seriouseat...

This guy is so well versed in food that he even knows the Turkish debate whether a menemen should have onions or not. Seriously dude you are insane, keep it up
Seriously, i was waiting to see if he was going to put onions into the menemen or not. But he catched me off guard by throwing the debate of onion and after that the pide bread. Thanks for not stopping to upload during the outbreak. Eline sağlık.
Im turkish and I didnt even know there was a debate 😅😅
Onions belong there. There's no debate and if you disagree you're wrong
@@LoveOneSV if no onions is wrong then I don't wanna be right
The funniest thing was how you know if a melon is nice and juicy or not. Best discussion ever.
Nobody:
Kenji: You can put lots of different things in Menemen, the ancient Persians actually used to add the blood of their enemies to add a little bit of metallic flavor. I actually happen to have a little bit of that lying around in the fridge; last night I killed a few of my enemies. It reminds me of back when I worked simultaneously in 17 restaurants in Instanbul for 532 years and we used to add wild boar hair to our coffee every morning. The proteins in the hair actually interact with the fabric of space time
I’m sorry kenji I love this video and also u
Underrated comment
@@connorwilson4772 I agree my best work is never appreciated
Thank you, I enjoyed that
Lmao now he needs to read this outloud while cooking in one of his videos. Just for the memes.
He's really good in filling empty spaces
I never realised how much of a culinary genius this guy is til he started talking more in his videos. Honestly holy shit he knows everything
He’s an elite chef in my book all day. Kenji Squad !!!
you should check out his cookbook if you haven't yet!! amazing, literally read it for fun all the time
@@dr.uracil where can i find his book?
@@dome1587 amazon, any website that sells books?
he's honestly one of the top food educators. he did recipe development for Cook's Illustrated, dude's back catalog of recipes and techniques on serious eats is huge, and he's singlehandedly invalidated a bunch of long-standing cooking myths and orthodoxy.
Dear Kenji, im a turk born and raised in new york and i am supprised and flatered at your authenticity because this dish to us is like burgers in a sense to Americans and your execution of it was flawless even to the point where you even knew about the debate on wether to add onions or not. Keep up the great work and my first visit to California will definetly include lunch at your resturant
hamburger ile ne alakası var yahu
@@CaptainKahra Amerikalıların hamburgere duyduğu yakınlık ile türklerin menemen'e duyduğu yakınlığı benzer bulduğunu söylemiş, ve haklı bence de.

Kenji - im turkish and i declare you to be an honorary turk. This is the one dish where every turkish man knows how to make.
You're a good person, so I guess that makes you... a Turkish Delight. :V
@@VidGamer123 Much better than a Turkish Delight, have you ever tasted Turkish Delight? Anything but delightful. Turkish cuisine in general, on the other hand, always looks absolutely scrumptious.
@@fordhouse8b Good day, you must've had.
@@Adam.Nodded You are dispropotionately mad for a cooking video. Do you have any comments for the dish or do you intend to crusade until you look like a fool?
@UC8JmCjfba5GsnATMcUrAI_g Yes, I am telling you that you are disproportionately mad right here, right now. The place for arguments about genocide and culture is anywhere but kenji's kitchen. You are welcomed to be outraged. You should shout your anger from the rooftops if you feel like it, but on a video teaching a lesson in cultural cooking, there is no place for accusation. We are all students here, and no student is more deserving to learn than another.
I respect your feelings, but I don't agree with you expressing them here.
"this bread is 100% flour"
me: that doesnt leave much room for other ingredients then
It’s bakers percentage
It compares the ratio of flour, which is always 100% to other ingredients
@@RyanEntnerMusic yes, I think that was the joke
@@RyanEntnerMusic who could’ve guessed. Imagine if somebody made a joke about that
You weigh everything else against the flour. So if you're using water that weighs 4/5ths of the total flour weight, that's 100% flour and 80% water
I live in Armenia, so we live pretty close and make a lot of turkish dishes and I always say that Turkish cuisine is one of the most underrated in the world. I'd recommend trying Imam Bayildi too
afiyet olsun ^^
which means good appetite.
@@Adam.Nodded dude please piss off with your nonsense comments.
@@Adam.Nodded islamic extremism? we just watched a FOOD VIDEO yo?! what are you on about dude you should seek for some mental help honeslty. i hate politics and politicians. on both turkish side and armenian side. i don't support erdogans presence and his ideas. however this is not a place for this. why are you so hostile?
Aram Avd are you actually getting butthurt over a cooking video lol? You aren’t painting your culture in a good light with your hateful comments.
@@Adam.Nodded do you have any evidence to back up its armenian? Im sure you're just as right to say its Armenian, but unless you mean pamidorov dzvadzex, I have never eaten or seen anyone eat it in Armenia.
The information in just this video goes from the varyaints of the ingredients, including 4 kinds of possible peppers,.onions or not, and then to a side talk of bread the designs in it, to the science of egg yolks and then the science of taste, and as well science behinds bread going stale reheating it and how corn is different. All in one video. This man knows everything.
Kenji: *spends 5 minutes talking about a traumatic burn experience*
Also kenji: touches the toaster grill and plate with bare hands.
He needs to get rid of these fingerprints.
Touching/tapping hot things is something you learn to do safely in a professional kitchen! There's simply no way around it, also you sort of get numb to it as soon as you learn that it doesn't burn you. The dangerous thing is to GRAB hot stuff.
He calls them his asbestos hands
Actually "Kaymak" in Turkish just means clotted cream. The stuff you find on top of boiled milk. Doesn't have to be from buffalo milk, but that of course tastes the best :D
Yea in India we call it "Megada" and we usually collect it over a few days and churn it to get the best butter in the world :)
I think he is confused with "Beyaz Peynir" which translates to white cheese and would be quite similar to that Mexican fresh cheese.
What I learned from this and a brief internet-searching rabbit hole, including the testimony of some agonised immigrants to the USA, is that clotted cream doesn’t really seem to be a thing there (ETA: the USA)? V curious if that’s really true, now, or if it’s maybe regional or something. It’s a treat but still quite standard in the UK, so I’m really doubting the results of google-fu. Surely the USA has clotted cream..?
@@HirathaYT Clotted cream is very much a standard in Turkish kitchen. It is consumed in breakfast with honey, as well as on some desserts. And Turkish cuisine has ridiculous amount of desserts.
@@precursors oops, sorry, I wasn’t clear - I meant by “doesn’t seem to be a thing there” - “doesn’t seem to be a thing where Kenji lives in the USA”. Obvs a thing in Turkey! (And the UK)
3 habits I've picked up from your videos; washing my hands at least 3-4 times while cooking a dish, cleaning my kitchen while cooking and grabbing pots and pans with a towel.
Using a dough scraper to pick up chopped ingredients!
@Porter Colville Or carrying ingredients on the knife itself :P
@@byaialele5916 man of culture
One of the my fav things about Kenji is that he talks to you like a regular person. Obviously he’s a professional but he explains things to the average cook in terms that make sense. 🙌
This less scripted, minimally edited video format is perfect.
The menemen looks delicious. Would you say that turkish bread is similar to focaccia?
Not really, it definitely has way less oil but the texture is similar on the inside with a drier, crunchier crust. It is also usually scored for a big rip on the top.
Agreed. I think bigger differences are the harder crust for pide (Turkish bread) and a chewy texture versus soft crust and fluffy texture for focaccia. And yes, no oil in Turkish bread as far as I know. I love them both. Focaccia is easier to make with shorter proofing times.
@@omergndz5 Sounds different but every bit as delicious!
Closest thing to Turkish bread is Chef John's French Sandwich Rolls recipe.
Edit: the bread in the video looks like Turkish Pide bread. Its airy, shaped like a pizza with small squares in the middle made by poking with fingers, brushed with egg and dusted with sesame seeds. It's a tradition to eat it during Ramadan. Long lines form in front of the bakeries for it. Chef John's version is like our basic, everyday bread but bakeries sell a lot of types of bread.
Pretty sure that Foccacia has a higher hydration level as well
I’m a brand new subscriber and I thought it was hilarious that at 12:30, Kenji said menemen and then started singing a ditty from Sesame Street. The resulting wave of nostalgia caught me squarely in the feels.
I always sing this randomly....
I’m Turkish and I would’ve never thought to see this from you or any American lol. I usually add onions to the dish by the way
Do you add sucuk aswell?
100% agreed
@@senorhanf8497 I'm scared because I don't know if this is a ligma type of joke of if it's a real thing
@@julienboisvert223 😂 do you mean putting sucuk in or my question?
Julien Boisvert it’s like a sausage so no ligma or sawcon joke here my friend
BTW you can get the good turkish cheese in almost every european country, especially central europe (france, germany, austria, netherlands...), because we have a lot of turkish immigrants here which brought the good stuff with them in the 70s and 80s. So now we have turkish shops and kebab stalls at almost every corner in bigger cities :)
This dude also knows how to eat it
As a Turkish woman this footages makes me wanna cry and have fate to humankind again. Thanks for sharing! Afiyet olsun...And try to cook it with onion and garlic guys its the best.
I really have to congratulate you on this one. I have watched many of your videos and loved the amount of attention to detail, effortlessly aswell. Being Turkish and eating menemen for most of my breakfasts, I really was staggered by the amount of knowledge you had on it and made it seem like you were as close to it as me, maybe more. Hats off to your knowledge and professionalism.
Also have to mention, I love those scientific explanation breaks. Please do more!
Mom made me this for breakfast all the time when I was growing up. Sometimes with sujuk and basturma like you mentioned (had to order them from Montreal). One of my absolute favorite things in the world. Thanks for honoring this wonderful dish!
I would correct the sucuk and pastırma (Turkish names, I assume the other names are anglicized/romanized or whatever) but still, that sounds good
@@leontius5502 Probably the anglicized Lebanese pronunciations. Going off the spelling from the Lebanese market in Montreal we bet them from. Mom is Turkish though so would probably spell them correctly. ;)
@@leontius5502 No the Romanized version would be sujuq, the debate of its origin is often contested as well being between Al-Kashgari and Ibn Hayyan. Many Arabic speaking countries use the "sujuk" style spelling.
sucuk and pastırma ?
Sucuk and pastırma pastırma means bacons
I see lots of Turks here whitch makes me happy for the new generation cooks learning not only Turkish cousine but also many more. Thx for the video.
Wow as a Turkish guy I've been making this dish for a while and also have watched professionals do it and I am still impressed with the amount of detail you've remembered about making this dish. Try it with onions next time! It adds a very delicious texture and sweetness to it.
This is my new favorite cooking video style. It’s way easier to learn when you share the same visual perspective from someone as genius as Kenji. Hope that when this quarantine is over these videos can continue. Thank you sir.
"Kaymak" is more like the cream that forms on top of heated milk. It's less cheesy and more buttery. And it goes very well with honey!
My mom loves that. Me not so much
It goes extremely well with jam as well! I personally love kaymak and strawberry jam combo, it's just an incredible taste you can't get anywhere.
@@HyakuJuu01300 good suggestion..
He posts so frequently that he doesn't say "see you in the next video" but instead says "see you in a bit". Gotta respect the hustle
Hes just multitasking lol
I follow several food youtubers and you can tell which ones have their backgrounds working as a professional chef in a working restaurant. Kenji and Josh Weisman for example: constantly wiping behind themselves and always have dish towels on standby, use delis to store EVERYTHING (and even drink out of like it was a glass,) use sheet trays in all their sizes.....its the little things.
Your knowledge in local cuisines are simply amazing Kenji, it amazed me that you actually knew about and addressed the controversy about the onions as an ingredient.
My favorite video of yours. I taught English in Istanbul for two years. I shouldn't have left. Wonderful people and food. Menemen, haydari, the fresh fish, mantī...the list goes on. I've always thought of myself as reasonably observant, but dang, you acquired so much knowledge (and a pan) in 12 days!
he kept his promise omg
as a turkish-american it's so weird (in a good way) to be reminded of my culture through such a great video, every time you mentioned another food of some kind (kefir, kaymak, pastirma, sucuk, etc.) i'd smile so hard!!! love this :)
Lots of wholesome Turkish people in the comments :)

Furkan Atlı The Armenian Genocide. It’s real. - Dozens of countries have recognized it as such. Turkey only denies that it doesn’t fit the term “genocide” but 1.5 million people dead kinda falls in that category.
@@dustyroflman8926 You people have alarm clocks on your brains, whenever you see or hear the word "turk" it rings like DING DONG ARMENNIAN GENOCIDE. Even when nobody denies any genocide people starts saying didactic shit like you, do you even know that i am a genocide denier?? No you don't. But i am a Turk anyway. Get rid of your racial biases and start think like a fucking human you fuckface.
@@dustyroflman8926 dozens of countries? maybe 25? there are more than 190 countries in the world ;) so that is a very weak argument.
Instantly became my favorite channel with this recipe. I was in instanbul last year and feasted on some great Turkish meals. I can't get the kaymak but I figured I can cook up some menemen. This brought back all the memories from the breakfast at boris'in yeri. Can't wait to try this recipe, thanks!
"What about second breakfast?" said Kenji in Turkey
Fool of a took
Hey Chef, I can recommend clotted cream as a worthy Kaymak substitute. That should do the trick.
Sumak is widely used to spice up for instance salad dishes, to give it a bit of a tang. Hence the alternative name Vinegar tree fruit.
I love that half the viewers know kenji from serious eats and the other half is just stoners who happened on his chorizo video and now find out he's a food guru
I love this guy since way too long he really taught me how to make ramen on one of his blog hes a genius in culinary. I love menemen and chakchouka. The ottoman empire inspired many countries to do dishes with eggs in a different way.
Hats off to you sir, that onion detail has caused serious discussions over twitter by large groups in turkey. And using an actual "sahan" to cook menemen, oh I'm impressed!
Dude thank you so much for the video, your knowledge about our cuisine is a fresh breath in a world where our rich cuisine is only known for döner kebab
Greatings from turkey... You did good. Like very good. İ had tears when you mentioned the onion debate.. it is a real thing. İ am pro-onions though.

Man, for real, the knowledge this man drops just casually while cooking is gold. Things I didn't know before that I never thought to ask about even. Great stuff.
Omg, my favourite person loves my favourite dish! Also, technically kaymak isn't a cheese, it's closer to clotted cream but without the baking and the caramelised flavour it brings
Yeah, it is milk's fat collected over simmering milk.
@@ofsabir Although that is a way to do it, there is usually a cooldown period after the simmering to let the fat droplets come together and settle on top. Also as bayrakları :)
@@omerkaya1504 I didn't know about that process deeply but I can agree on As Bayrakları.
Hi Kenji! Your Menemen looks perfect I can tell 👌👏 If you like Turkish food I suggest you try "Egg Kapama" too! It is very easy and unbelievably good. I have the recipe too
Egg kapama mi? Yok lahpaste
Dad and chef, same guy. "Alright, breakfast rush, folks. Twenty two minutes for the menemen, that's how long we have before the daughter cover gets seated."
As a Turk, I approve this. Also side dishes perfectly complete the rich Turkish breakfast.
Hope you made some turkish tea to finish off the beutiful breakfast :)
Obvious but I'll share it again anyways the tea needs to be served in a nice thin glas not in china or mug please. You have to enjoy the color of the tea while drinking it.
Kenji I will let you know I appreciated the Sesame Street reference around 12:38 brought me back to my childhood. Thank you by the way for always making suggestions for substitutions in your dishes for ingredients that may be a bit more pricey or unobtainable in certain places. It really shows that even when on a budget there is the possibility to make good food.
He mentions this a couple of episodes ago, says he'll do a video. Does the video within the week. Take note other youtubers.
the luxury and genius of not "producing" videos. POV cam for the win.
Yoo facts. Kenji is a legend on and off the net
I enjoy how you just bring some random sauce out of the fridge to stir and taste because you want to talk about it. Shows your true love of your craft!! And you seem to be a great dad to boot! Keep the videos coming, we all love them!!
Hello Lopez, thanks for sharing. In quarantine as a Turk this is what I eat nearly every morning.
You are going to make everyone gain a lotta weight! Madlad!
This tastes amazing and it is so underrated. I am sad that most of the world doesn’t know about this amazing dish.
I love how unedited his videos are
Like it sounds weird but i really love the simplicity
Plus his voice is so soothing
Kenji I absolutely love how you explain different culinary processes with the scientific principles behind it, adds so much more depth to the art of cooking..! Love your channel!
Im not even looking for menemen recipe nor planning to cook it. Just enjoy listen to him spouting knowledge all over the kitchen.
I am Turkish and Kenji is one of my favorite chef and he is making my simplest dish favorite called "Menemen"
These videos remind me of being in the kitchen with my dad :) very informative and comforting
My mom made Menemen today. Whenever I cook, I tend to avoid Turkish cuisine, since my Turkish mom takes that job from me!
I was initially surprised and delighted to find the master who not only knows what but also why on RUclips. But when I hear him talk, gosh a fount of knowledge. Just going through all his vids will enhance my knowledge by atleast 20%. Cant believe my luck!
These videos make me so happy. Just what I need during these tough months. No BS, just good food and I love the POV. Thanks Kenji!
My son told me about your channel. He is a HUGE fan after I bought him your book a few years back! Learning so MUCH!! Can not wait to try this one. I also have to say I LOVE YOUR HOUSE!!! I raised 7 kids, and you can tell what a fantastic family life you have. :) Lots of FUN. :) The critter cage on the counter brought back memories. :)
I've never learned as much from anybody else as I learn from Kenji's videos in his kitchen.
I love this style of casual vlog. Your quarantine videos are my new favourite thing! I love that your one dog is always under foot waiting for a treat and I find your attentiveness to your daughter so sweet. Thank you for the refreshing entertainment!
im turkish and i have to say, this is one of my favorite dishes of all time. And normally i have to cringe a lot when people make it that are not turkish. But you did an amazing job imo. that looks like the perfect turkish breakfast. I literally crave it so hard rn.
Reading Captions....
Kenji: Today i am showing you many men.
Me: eh what.....
Kenji - the most painful injury you can experience is a burn - PERIOD. Doesn't matter what you do for a living or how you got it. Good advice in general!
I fired off my comment too soon... then came your rendition of one of the most famous Muppets songs ever - loved it! 💛
I have literally been waiting all day for this
Hey, I just wanted to say that "Bal & Kaymak (Honey & Kaymak)" needs to have the kaymak soaking in honey, thats how we eat it. I love this video cuz you really know so much about this dish. Thanks for making this, I felt really good when I saw the title! Have a nice one!
Man, I just love you now.
And as I've gotten through the video I get more amazed at your knowledge with different cuisines such as my homeland Turkey. Congrats.

Next time I come to Cali, I'm eating at your restaurant!

@@giannoncene he can find it very easily. turkish supermarkets exist in usa tho...
Can Artunç There's also many Southern European markets that sell the same thing in the US

Can Artunç where does he live? There are global markets everywhere
This dude literally knows everything about food
surprized to find this recipe on your channel and such a long video :-) greetings from Austria/Vienna from me, who was born in Istanbul!
As a native Spanish person, we eat bread with olive oil and shredded tomatoes all over Spain. Pan Tumaca is the most known name, of Catalonian origin, but it's more a specification. It's like saying Valencian paella or Spanish paella, Valencian paella is a type of Spanish paella.
there is one trick you can do if you want to elevate this dish and its does work amazingly. Instead of cracking the eggs to the pan you seperate them and add the whites in first, stir and cook for a bit and then add the yolk :) so you avoid over cooking the yolk and end up with a creamier texture
Im turkish and this is by far my favorite thing to eat at breakfast. Well done
12:31 I'm glad you went there because we were all thinking it!
I always think about the song many men wish death upon me when I hear mennemen
I approve this. As a turkish lad i love this channel and everything this guy does
Hahaha hi from Turkey. Yesterday i eat this ^^ Thank you so much!
Wow! I didn’t expect that as a Turkish viewer, thanks for upload.It’s really diffrent recipe that we made in Turkey, it’s bit complex and have some non-turkish ingredients.But looks like a rich and delicious recipe! Afiyet olsun :-)
As a turkish follower who is living in a city(Samsun) famous for its menemen, I can safely say that you are quite good with it
You can add onions next time :)
Saner Kanbolat but would you say the recipe is accurate otherwise? I had menemen every day in Istanbul and I’ve tried to so hard to replicate it! My method is slightly different to Kenji’s though
Name of the famous menemen is Çakallı Menemen and it belongs to Çakallı region of Samsun. Onion is NOT one of the ingredients of Menemen. If you check various recipes you can see onion is not used at all. Some people puts it in their daily breakfasts but Menemen is a dish that does not contain onion in our food culture. So keep onion away from Menemen thanks!
@@middleman3165 4 tomatoes (approx.)
1 green pepper
2 eggs
50grams of butter
30grams of cheese of you choice (if it's an heavy cheese put less)
Salt
Blackpepper
Ground pepper
@@middleman3165 It's about the timing and I only use yolk. I will explain why.
First of all, butter would be a good choice before adding pepper and tomato. Then, when you add pepper and tomato, you need to wait until seeing bubbles from it, so you have enough time to stir yolk which you'll be adding a teaspoon of milk and continue. After adding stirred yolk, in order not to burn you need to reduce the heat and keep it like that. Lastly, spread the mixture evenly and wait until you have a hard surface on the top, but not inside. Enjoy your meal :)
@@Dennaton We have enough problems to talk about bro, let me just add my onion :)
My parents are Kurdish and they make this everytime good way to start the day
Kenji yapiyosun su menemeni kral
Love that he gives his opinion about if ingredients belong in a dish or not. I was definitely wondering about his thoughts on alioli.
I'm eating Menemen while watching this 😂
I prefer mine without cheese and onions. Instead oil i use pure butter. Also i love it with hot spicy peppers 🔥
Keep going with your great cooking videos Kenji!!
Greetings from Malatya, Turkey
Kenji, you can make "Kaymak" by just boiling then cooling the milk. The thick stuff that floats on the milk is kaymak.
When you started to manamana, I lost it. Now it's with me for the rest of the evening
Just cooked the dish this morning for breakfast, it was delicious! Thank you Kenji for the top quality content, knowledge and little stories.
"Somewhere between mozzarella and butter" that's all I need to hear
Love how you are using the Gopro with barely any edits! I prefer when you are talking over the silent ones, but realize it's probably more work to do the voiceovers. Looks delicious, but your stuff always does.
Kenji: *can discern a certain chili and tell that it’s mislabeled based on smell alone*
Me: *staring in complete awe*
Some people have The Gift.
A true man of culture if he makes it without onions
Grabbing the pan advice is so true. Now you have the shape of the pan handle on your hand for the next couple weeks.
Whenever I see kenji or serious eats talk about menemen I always think of that 50 cent song
Kenji, if you want to get kaymak (kajmak), you will find it in a store that sells goods from the Balkans. Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia tend to use kajmak in their cooking fairly regularly, so might be worth checking there. The Balkan cuisine was heavily influenced by the Ottomans as they used to occupy these area in the past. Lots of their dishes and customs of drinking coffee still remain in the Balkan gastronomy today.
Kaymak is more a kind of cooked cream, not really cheese as far as I know. Aside from that, love your vids
I'm a Brit living in Turkey, and Clotted cream is really close to kaymak and works just as well with honey. It's soooo good with pişi (fried bread dough).
