Menemen

Turkish breakfast made with eggs, tomatoes and peppers

• Olive Oil
• ¼ c. Onion, finely chopped
• 1 bell Green Pepper, finely chopped
• 3 large Ripe Tomatoes
• Salt
• 2 Eggs

1. Coat the bottom of a large frying pan with a small amount of Olive Oil.
2. Sautee Onions & Peppers.
3. Without removing cores or skin, grate the Tomatoes and add to pan.
4. Cook until bubbly, add salt.
5. Crack 2 eggs on top and cook slightly before mixing in and finish cooking.

* During the Ottoman period, egg dishes were very important. Today, Turks still eat many egg dishes. Menemen is a favorite breakfast in homes as well as restaurants and cafes. (When tomatoes are in season I grate and freeze them in small containers to make this delicious breakfast all winter long!)
