What is Menemen with one and a half eggs?
Menemen with one and a half eggs is a Turkish pan-cooked dish of tomatoes and green peppers finished with eggs. It is closely associated with Turkish breakfast, though it also makes a quick, simple meal at other times of day. The vegetables soften into a juicy base, while the eggs set gently through it.
Serve it hot, often straight from the pan, with bread for scooping up the tomato-and-egg mixture. In Turkey it commonly shares the breakfast table with olives, cheese and tea; elsewhere, it works just as well for brunch or a light supper. The vegetables bring fluid and some fibre, while the eggs contribute protein, so it is more substantial than a plate of vegetables alone. For a lighter version, use a little less oil and add extra tomatoes and peppers.
