Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
• 4 medium, finely chopped tomatoes
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 2 tablespoons, freshly chopped (optional, for garnish) parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it turns translucent.

Step 3

Add the diced green bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes, or until the pepper softens.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for 7-8 minutes, allowing the mixture to simmer and thicken. Stir occasionally.

Step 5

Season the vegetable mixture with ground paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

Step 6

Crack the eggs directly into the skillet over the vegetables. Do not stir immediately; allow the eggs to cook for 1-2 minutes until the whites begin to set.

Step 7

Gently stir the eggs into the vegetable mixture, breaking the yolks and combining, or leave the yolks intact if you prefer a runnier consistency.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 10

Enjoy your sugar-free Turkish Menemen with crusty bread or on its own for a wholesome meal!
