What is Scrambled Eggs?

Yumurtasız menemen is a Turkish, egg-free take on menemen, usually made by gently cooking tomatoes and green peppers in oil; some cooks add onion or spices. It is served warm, often at breakfast, with bread for scooping up the soft, juicy vegetables. The tomatoes bring gentle sweetness and tang, while the peppers add a fresh, savoury note. Though the name on this page is Scrambled Eggs, this dish is not scrambled eggs.

Its nutritional character comes mainly from vegetables and the oil used, rather than the protein associated with an egg-based breakfast. Use a modest amount of oil for a lighter pan, and serve with bread, olives or other breakfast sides.

How do you make eggless menemen?

Cook chopped peppers in oil until softened, then add chopped or grated tomatoes to make eggless menemen. Simmer uncovered until the tomatoes become a thick sauce, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and, if you like, black pepper or chilli.

What is the difference between eggless menemen and shakshuka?

Eggless menemen is usually a simple Turkish tomato-and-pepper dish, while shakshuka often includes eggs poached in its sauce and may use a different blend of spices. Eggless menemen is typically cooked as a vegetable mixture rather than served with eggs nestled in it.

Should eggless menemen have onions?

Either version is common: you can make eggless menemen with or without onions. For an onion version, soften the chopped onion in oil before adding the peppers. Leaving it out gives the tomatoes and peppers a more prominent flavour.

Why is my eggless menemen watery?

Eggless menemen is often watery because the tomatoes release more liquid than the pan can evaporate. Simmer it uncovered until the sauce thickens, and avoid adding extra water. If your tomatoes are especially juicy, remove some of their watery seed pulp before cooking.

Can you make eggless menemen with canned tomatoes?

Yes, canned tomatoes work well in eggless menemen, especially when fresh tomatoes are out of season. Soften the peppers first, add the canned tomatoes, then simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens. Taste before adding salt because canned tomatoes can already be salty.

Do you peel tomatoes for eggless menemen?

No, peeling tomatoes is not necessary for eggless menemen. Leaving the skins on gives the dish a more rustic texture, while peeled or grated tomatoes make the sauce smoother. Choose based on the texture you prefer.
