Menemen (Turkish Eggs)

Directions

Serves Two to Three
Time:  15 Minutes Preparation

A few sprays of non-stick cooking spray
½ red onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 tbs red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tomatoes, core removed and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp Tajin
4 eggs, scrambled
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tbs crumbled feta
3 tbs of your favorite herb – chives, cilantro, parsley, or basil, roughly chopped.

Method:

In a large skillet – spray with cooking spray and start heating over medium high heat.  Add onion, red pepper and red pepper flakes and cook until onions are softened – stirring often.  About 4-5 minutes.  Add garlic, cook for one minute, stirring.  Add tomatoes with their juices and stir to combine.

At this point, add a dash of salt and pepper.  Add cumin and Tajin.  Cook for about 5 minutes to soften tomatoes.  Pour eggs in and tip the pan so that the eggs cover all the vegetables and edges of pan.    Then leave it alone!  Turn heat down to medium-low, cover and cook about 4 minutes until eggs are set.

Serve hot in bowls – garnishing with crumbled feta and chopped herb of choice.
