Turkish menemen in the most authentic way I could with the ingredients available. Whether or not onion goes in it is the subject of arguments going over hundreds of years

Ingredients

Serves 2

1 bell pepper (or 2 long sweet peppers)

1 medium yellow onion

2tbsp olive oil

1tsp cayenne pepper

1tbsp paprika

1 plum tomato

1tbsp tomato paste

1tbsp oregano

3 eggs

Salt and pepper

Method

Step 1

Chop onion and bell/sweet peppers finely. Add olive oil to a pan, then once hot add the peppers and cook on medium heat. Add the chili powder, salt and paprika and cook for 4/5 minutes until the onion-pepper mix starts to soften

Step 2

In the meantime, grate the tomato in a bowl. Once the onion-pepper mixture is ready, add the tomato and pepper, then stir together

Step 3

Cook for another 5 minutes and add the tomato paste. Mix well with the other ingredients, then add the oregano and the three eggs. The idea is to scramble them in, so place the heat high and it should take roughly 2 minutes to finish

Step 4

Top with optional parsley or dill and eat with some bread straight from the pan. Buon appetito!
