“This is the Turkish version of scrambled eggs with peppers, tomatoes, and eggs cooked over a raging fire. The way he whips it up in that hot fire creates this egg sauce — actually like a fluffy, runny sauce, but perfectly cooked. It's so juicy and creamy, like a totally different texture of eggs, with a little spiciness from the peppers and tartness from the tomatoes. It's a breakfast of champions.”
“This menemen is one of the greatest breakfasts in Istanbul. The way he whips it up over that raging fire creates this fluffy, runny egg sauce. It's so juicy and creamy, a totally different texture of eggs. The pastrami gives it a nice smoky flavor, and there's a little spiciness from the peppers and tartness from the tomatoes. It's like a dip for bread, perfectly cooked so it's still saucy and gooey on the inside.”
