Ingredients

• 4 eggs

• 4 ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped

• A handful of fresh parsley, chopped

• A generous drizzle of olive oil

• 2 tbsp Baharat Doner Seasoning (Shop Fresh, Authentic Seasonings)

Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients:

   • Chop the tomatoes, dice the peppers, and finely chop the onion.

   • Mince the parsley for garnish.

2. Cook the base:

   • Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a pan over high heat.

   • Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent.

   • Stir in the diced green pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

3. Add the tomatoes:

   • Lower the heat and add the chopped tomatoes to the pan.

   • Season with Baharat Doner Seasoning, (Shop Fresh, Authentic Seasonings)

   • Let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and the flavours meld together.

4. Cook the eggs:

   • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs.

   • Pour the eggs into the tomato mixture and stir gently. Cook over low heat until the eggs are just set but still creamy. Turn off the heat—the residual warmth will finish cooking the eggs.

5. Garnish and serve:

   • Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the Menemen.

   • Serve immediately with warm, crusty Turkish bread. (If you don’t have Turkish bread, any fresh bread will do.)
