Preparation
- Finely chop the onion.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of Biryağ Sunflower Oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until it's soft and translucent. Don't let it brown too much!
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of Tat Tomato Paste and 1 tablespoon of Oncu Sweet Pepper Paste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to deepen their flavors.
- Make three small wells in the tomato and onion mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well.
- Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of Dried Mint.
- Cover the pan and let the eggs cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still a little runny (or cooked to your preference).
- Once cooked, gently stir the eggs into the tomato mixture, breaking them up slightly to create a rustic scramble.
- Serve immediately, straight from the pan, with warm White Arabic Bread for dipping. Enjoy your delicious creation!
Pro Tips
- For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the tomato paste.
- Don't overcook the eggs if you prefer a creamier texture; the yolks should still be slightly soft.
- Menemen is traditionally served directly from the pan, so bring it to the table and let everyone dig in!
