TURKISH EGGS WITH OLIVES, FETA AND TOMATOES (MENEMEN)



Turkish Eggs With Olives, Feta and Tomatoes (Menemen) image

Scrambled eggs lend themselves to customization because they're a blank, breakfast- or brunch-friendly canvas. Almost any stir-in works: Add cheese or butter for richness, vegetables for heft and herbs and spices for flavor. If you like a little bit of everything in yours, then menemen -- the traditional Turkish egg dish loaded with peppers and tomatoes -- is for you. This version uses plump olives, crumbled feta and a pile of fresh herbs -- and comes together in less than 30 minutes.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 scallions, white and green parts, finely chopped (see Tip)
2 large red bell peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 large ripe tomatoes or 3 plum tomatoes (about 1 pound), finely chopped
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 whole-wheat pitas or flatbread
8 large eggs, beaten
6 ounces feta, crumbled
1/3 packed cup parsley or cilantro leaves, or a mix, chopped
Meaty green olives (such as Cerignola or Castelvetrano)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add half the scallions and cook until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the bell peppers and cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook until some of the liquid from the tomatoes evaporates, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast the pita or flatbread on an open flame on the stovetop over low heat, turning with long metal tongs, until toasted and warmed on all sides. Wrap well in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
  • When most of the liquid has evaporated from the tomatoes, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the eggs and let them cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until large curds form and the eggs are mostly cooked through but still slightly runny, about 3 minutes. Stir in the feta and cook until scrambled eggs are just cooked and feta is slightly melted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the parsley, cilantro and remaining scallions. Serve warm, with olives and pita on the side.

MENEMEN (TURKISH SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH TOMATO)



Menemen (Turkish Scrambled Eggs With Tomato) image

Menemen, made from eggs, tomatoes, peppers and sometimes onions, is a distinctly Turkish breakfast comfort food. Although a year-round dish, it is especially pleasing in the summer, with really ripe tomatoes from the garden or farmer's market. Be creative with this dish: Add shallots, chiles, fresh herbs or Aleppo pepper, or treat it as purists do, with only tomatoes and eggs. Cook slowly, stirring infrequently, until the eggs form billowy puffs. You can serve topped with feta cheese or lamb sausage, with any warm flatbread on the side.

Categories     breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium white onion (about 10 ounces), peeled and diced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 mild but flavorful long green pepper (such as Turkish carliston, Hungarian banana or Anaheim), stemmed, halved lengthwise, seeded, then diced
1 cup peeled, chopped fresh heirloom tomato (about 7 ounces) or canned diced San Marzano tomatoes with their juices
4 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus 2 tablespoons for garnish
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
Flatbread, toasted or untoasted, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a nonstick medium skillet over medium-high. Add the onion, oregano and Aleppo pepper, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in the green pepper and cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • While the onions and peppers are cooking, purée half the tomatoes in a food processor or blender. Once the onions and peppers are soft, add the remaining chopped tomatoes to the onions and peppers. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the puréed tomatoes and whisk until foamy.
  • Once the mixture in the skillet comes to a simmer, stir in the 1/4 cup parsley and the butter, if using. Reduce heat to low, add the egg mixture on top and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Taste, adding a little more salt, oregano or Aleppo pepper, if needed. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve directly from the skillet, with flatbread alongside.
