Turkish Menemen

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 long green Turkish or Anaheim pepper, diced
• 2 large tomatoes, grated or finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pul biber (Aleppo pepper), plus more for serving
• 4 eggs
• 2 tbsp crumbled feta (optional)

• Grate the tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater, discarding the skins.

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

3. Cook the peppers, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes.
4. Add the grated tomatoes to the skillet.
5. Season with salt and pul biber.
6. Simmer the mixture uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
7. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet.
8. Stir the eggs gently and continuously into the tomato mixture.
9. Cook, stirring, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set, about 2 minutes.
10. Remove the skillet from the heat while the eggs are still slightly wet.
11. Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the top, if using.
12. Serve immediately straight from the skillet with crusty bread.
