Menemen with Sucuk and Bread

Ingredients

Quantities are for one portion.

• 50 gsucuk (turkish garlic sausage), sliced
• 15 mlolive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3eggs
• 70 gcrusty bread
• 2tomatoes, peeled and chopped
• 2green pointed peppers, chopped

Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a wide frying pan. Add the sliced sucuk, frying it briefly until its bright red, garlicky oil renders into the pan.
2. Add the chopped green peppers to the seasoned oil, cooking until soft.
3. Stir in the peeled, chopped tomatoes. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer until the tomatoes break down into a thick, concentrated sauce.
4. Crack the eggs directly into the tomato base.
5. Wait thirty seconds, then barely scramble the eggs, gently breaking the yolks into the sauce.
6. Allow it to cook until the eggs are just barely set; menemen should be slightly runny and juicy, not a dry scramble.
7. Remove the pan from the heat immediately. Serve hot directly in the pan with the crusty bread torn into chunks for dipping.
