What is Menemen with dried meat?
Menemen with dried meat is a Turkish-style take on menemen, the pan-cooked combination of eggs, tomatoes and peppers. Pieces of dried meat add a savoury, concentrated flavour to the soft vegetables and eggs. It is often served hot for breakfast in Turkey, with bread for scooping up the juices; it also makes an easy, filling meal at other times of day.
The texture is tender and saucy, with pleasantly chewy pieces of meat. Eggs and dried meat make it a protein-rich dish, with 9.1 g of protein per 100 g. Since dried meat can be salty, taste before adding extra salt. For a lighter version, use a modest amount of oil and let the tomatoes and peppers provide more of the volume.
