What is Menemen with Sucuk?

Menemen with Sucuk is a Turkish pan-cooked dish of eggs with tomatoes and green peppers, made heartier with slices of sucuk, a spiced Turkish sausage. The vegetables soften into a juicy base while the eggs are stirred in and left tender; the sausage adds a savoury, warmly spiced flavour and a richer bite.

In Turkey it is a familiar breakfast, served hot in the pan with bread for scooping and often accompanied by tea. Elsewhere, it also makes a satisfying brunch or informal supper with crusty bread. Eggs and sausage contribute protein, while the sausage and cooking fat make the dish relatively rich; a 100 g portion has 8.5 g of protein. Use less sucuk and oil for a lighter version, or add a fresh salad alongside.
