Eggs, Tomatoes and Peppers - Menemen

Serves 4

Once you have tasted this simple dish of, you’ll never forget it. The flavour is outstanding.

8 eggs

salt and pepper to taste

125 ml olive oil

2 onions, cut into rings

3 green peppers, diced

6 large tomatoes, roughly chopped

1 red chilli, chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

flat leaf parsley, for garnishing

Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, and then gently fry the onions and peppers for 3 minutes without browning them. Add the tomatoes, chilli and garlic, season to taste and cook till the tomatoes are soft and the liquid has reduced by half.

Pour the eggs into the centre of the pan and slowly stir into the tomato mixture. Keep stirring slowly until it begins to firm. Remove from the heat.

Garnish with some flat leaf parsley and serve with crusty bread; great for mopping up juices!
