- 1 large tomato, or 2 smaller tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon of oil (olive oil is preferred, or use your preferred oil)

How to Make Menemen (Turkish scrambled eggs)
1
Dice the onion, pepper, and tomato into small pieces.
2
Heat the oil in a small skillet, then add the onion and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes until the onion softens.
3
Add the tomato, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for a few minutes until everything softens and the tomato breaks down into a sauce-like consistency.
4
Crack the eggs into the skillet and stir gently to break them up and mix with the vegetables. Remove from the heat just before the eggs are fully cooked; they will continue to cook off the heat.
