Menemen
Silky eggs folded with sweet peppers, tomato and melting cheese for a bright, comforting skillet.
Ingredients
- 2 pcs Green Pepper
- 2 pcs Garlic
- 0.5 tsp Aleppo Pepper
- 1.25 tsp Kosher Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
- 4 pcs Egg
- 60 g Kasar Cheese
- 2 tbsp Parsley
- 0.5 pcs Lemon
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 pcs Tomato
Method
- Finely dice {green_pepper} and {tomato}, and mince {garlic} so they cook quickly and melt into the sauce.
- Heat {olive_oil} in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the prepared {green_pepper} with a pinch of {kosher_salt} and cook until softened and glossy. Stir in {garlic} and bloom {aleppo_pepper} briefly until fragrant, then add {tomato}, more {kosher_salt}, and {black_pepper}. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens into a jammy sauce.
- Crack {egg} into a bowl and whisk with a pinch of {kosher_salt} until the whites and yolks are fully blended.
- Lower the skillet to medium-low heat and pour in {egg}. Stir slowly with a spatula, scraping the pan so soft curds form while the tomato base stays saucy. When the eggs are barely set, fold in {kasar_cheese} so it melts without overcooking.
- Take the skillet off the heat while the eggs are still glossy. Scatter over {parsley}, add a light squeeze of {lemon}, taste, and adjust with {kosher_salt} before serving immediately.
