Description
Menemen is the Turkish equivalent of shakshuka - eggs cooked in a flavorful tomato and pepper sauce. This popular breakfast dish is simple yet incredibly delicious. Traditionally, it is prepared in a skillet and eaten directly from it, with fresh bread for dipping. The key is not to overcook the eggs - they should be creamy and delicate.
