that looks and sounds a lot like a Turkish dish called menemen. in looking it up, it seems to have cousin dishes going by different names around the Arab / former Ottoman world.

it is so effing good. genius pairing of tomatoes & other fresh summer veg, spices, and protein. add some bread to scoop, and it's one of those single dish miracles that can be done on a campfire/cook stove.

I think one of the reasons "ketchup on eggs" is even a thing with some people, is like the cultural memory of a complex tomato sauce and eggs. like it is the weak descendant.

    Oh yeah I haven't tried making menemen yet but from what I understand of it, it's the same basic ingredients as shakshuka, except that the eggs are scrambled into the mix. The convenience to taste ratio on these dishes is amazing.
