Turkish Menemel

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large bell peppers [paprika poivrons], chopped (green color looks best)
  • 1 can of tomatoes, diced [hackade hachée]
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic [klyftor vitlök gousses d'ail], diced
  • 2 scallions/green onions [salladslökar cébette], or replace with 1 leek [purjolökar poireau], cut like in the picture
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 eggs
  • mint leaves for garnishing

    Preparation

    In a pan, fry the chopped onion and bell pepper in the oil until tender. Then add the tomatoes, garlic and most of the scallion/leek and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until it thickens, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle salt over it.

    Using a spoon, make room for each egg, break the eggs and put them into the hollows. Let cook slowly until the eggs are slightly cooked (8-10 minutes). Help the whites with a spoon to make them harden.

    Sprinkle black pepper over. Garnish with the rest of the scallion/leek and mint leaves.

    Serve in the pan.
