Menemen - Turkish-style Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes and Peppers

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 4 large eggs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Sauté Vegetables:

   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.

2. Add Tomatoes:

   • Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are soft and have released their juices, about 5 minutes.

3. Add Eggs:

   • Crack the eggs directly into the skillet. Stir gently to combine without fully scrambling the eggs. Allow the mixture to set slightly, then stir again to create a slightly chunky texture.

4. Season:

   • Season with salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Cook until the eggs are fully set but still soft.

5. Garnish and Serve:

   • Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
