🇹🇷 Turkey recipe
Menemen
Menemen is Turkey's beloved breakfast skillet -- a vibrant, saucy scramble of eggs cooked with ripe tomatoes, green peppers, and a touch of spice. Named after the town of Menemen near Izmir, this dish is all about simplicity and quality ingredients. The eggs should be just barely set in a luscious tomato-pepper sauce, and it must be eaten directly from the pan with chunks of crusty bread.
