Dear

onion. Turkish people were really vote that topic like crazy! No joke! I told

%50 people were said without onions. Frankly, i don’t care who said something
what. Menemen always mean cooking with onion for me. J Trust me, you also cook menemen with onion, won’t

Alright, now you know contents for cooking menemen. Also you need salt, black pepper and chili red pepper as spices. We prepared all contents for cooking now and we can pass to front of stove. We starting to chop of onions as little cubes. After we will chop of green peppers as standart size and then tomatoes as cube too.
(Do not forget to peel off of tomatoes) We add to vegetable oil (you can use olive oil if you have) of pan. In order of add first onions, then green pepper and then tomates. When onions become soft and colors turned pink, we add to green peppers. After add tomatoes, when onions and green peppers are become soft.
Yeah

not forget to check your dish! No one wants their food to burn, right? J When tomatoes are lost smell raw, you add to eggs.
This duration we are adding to salt and black pepper. We are mixing always as
slowly. When eggs cooked, so looks little bit dried, it means your menemen is
ready. Lastly, you can add red chili pepper on your menemen. It looks will very
well and tasty. Also you can add some greens (parsley and dill) too if you
