MENEMEN
Turkish scrambled eggs and tomatoes is an easy breakfast dish that you can find all around the country. In Iran, the same dish is called "omelet." There has always been a debate whether menemen should have onions or not and the result is always a 50/50 split. Other variations of menemen use cheese (such as kaşar) or Turkish dry sausage (also known as sucuk). This dish is originally made with Turkish sweet green pepper (yeşil biber) but here I substituted easier-to-find Italian sweet pepper (cubanelle). Other good options include green bell pepper or sweet banana pepper.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Saute the sweet pepper, stirring frequently, until it softens, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start breaking down and releasing their juices, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Break the eggs into a small bowl and beat lightly using a fork. Add the eggs to the tomatoes and stir to combine. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 1/3 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, gently stirring, until the eggs are just set, about 3 minutes, making sure not to overcook the eggs. Garnish with parsley if using and serve with warm bread.

MENEMEN (TURKISH SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH TOMATO)
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.

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.
MENEMEN (TURKISH SCRAMBLED EGGS)
This Turkish comfort food is like the Middle Eastern version of a breakfast burrito. Scrambled eggs are softly cooked with peppers, tomatoes, harissa, and plenty of olive oil. Serve in warm pita with string cheese and cucumbers for a surprisingly easy (and cheap!) breakfast or brunch.

Steps:
- Sauce: Roughly chop the peppers by slicing off the tops, then cut strips lengthwise around the core. Dice strips, discarding the core with some of the rib and most of the seeds. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add peppers, a pinch of salt, tomato paste, harissa, Maras (or Aleppo) pepper, and sauté until soft, 3-4 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the scallions and add to the peppers when they're soft, after about 3 minutes.
- Halve tomatoes crosswise and pull out some of the seeds. Put a box grater in a bowl and grate the tomatoes over the largest holes until all that's left is the flattened tomato skin. Stir grated tomatoes into the peppers along with the remaining tablespoon of oil and simmer until the tomatoes are cooked and the sauce is thickened, 3-4 minutes. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
- Eggs: Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt. Set aside. Stir parsley and remaining tablespoon of butter into the pepper-tomato mixture. Slowly pour in the eggs, stopping and stirring in 4 additions. The eggs will scramble right away but also make the sauce creamy. Stir until eggs are still slightly runny but set, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat and let rest (eggs will continue cooking) while you prepare the garnish.
- Assembly: Thinly slice cucumbers on a mandoline. Set aside. Untwist string cheese, pulling it apart into thin strands. Set aside. Spoon eggs evenly into pita bread. Garnish with string cheese and cucumbers (or leave on the side) and enjoy like a breakfast burrito.
MENEMEN (SPICY TURKISH SCRAMBLED EGGS)
This has become a regular for me. I make it whenever I'm cooking breakfast just for myself (my family's not a big fan of the chilies and tomatoes mixed in with the eggs, but I love it). It might look like a pile of slop, but it tastes soooooo good! Seed the chilies if you fear the heat. Either way, these make a delicious breakfast, served with toast or, ideally, Turkish bread.
