Menemen, Traditional egg dish in Turkey.
Menemen combines beaten eggs with sautéed tomatoes, green peppers, and onions, creating a rich breakfast dish with natural Mediterranean ingredients.
The recipe emerged from the Aegean region near Izmir, where local cooks developed this egg preparation method using fresh produce from surrounding farms.
Turkish families gather around the breakfast table to share this morning dish, sparking discussions about whether onions belong in the traditional recipe.
The preparation takes 35 minutes from start to finish, requiring basic ingredients like eggs, tomatoes, peppers, and olive oil cooked in a single pan.
Social media polls reveal an exact split between Turkish citizens, with 51 percent favoring onions in their menemen and 49 percent preferring without.
