Menemen

A dish for breakfast

Ingredients: (for 2)

*3 Eggs
* 2 Grated Tomatoes
* 1 Small chopped Onion
* 2 Small green Peppers (you can also use bell peppers; I like my peppers hot)
* A little Cummin, Black Pepper and Salt.
* Any kind of oil or butter (best)

Add the butter (1 tbsp is enough I guess) in a large frying pan.
Cook the onion for 5 mins until they get pink/brown.
Add the peppers and cook for 5 mins more.
Add the grated tomatoes and season with the spices and cook it until the tomatoes juice is absorbed. (not too runny)
Add the beaten eggs and cook for 2-3 mins until the white parts of eggs are totally cooked (don't cook the yolks too much though)
You can grate some cheese over it. (or add inside)

** I like this easy dish a bit juicy; so I don't cook tomatoes too much. We like to eat it in the pan itself, without emptying in a plate but of course in a café they will serve it more decently
And eat it with crunchy bread...and black tea!

*** It can be cooked without peppers if you don't like them
