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.

Now I am just thinking of Many Men by 50 cent but it's a song about Turkish breakfast.

Good cooking comrade, looks amazing! What exactly is in it? I need to broaden my breakfast mind

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Thanks, it's actually really easy to make. I chopped up an onion, bell pepper, green chilli pepper, and two cloves of garlic, sauteed them for a couple of minutes with paprika, salt, pepper and turmeric powder, then dropped in a can of chopped tomatoes, stirred to mix, made two holes in the sauce for the eggs, covered the pan and waited a few minutes for the eggs to cook. Topped it up with chopped fresh parsley, you can also add crumbled feta on top, but I had none left in the fridge so I skipped it. Takes like 20 minutes from start to finish and tastes real good.

just wanted to let you know that shakshuka has become one of my favorite things to cook now because of your post, so thank you comrade!

Shakshuka is right up there with chilaquiles for simple amazing breakfast

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Shakshuka is great. There's at least two different restaurants in my town that make im-vegan versions so I don't have to miss this food

What do they replace the eggs with? I was thinking silken tofu would work

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Inquiring minds would like to know.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm waow-based

It's really good. I make a big batch of it and then reheat it in the microwave. Eggs I cook in a small skillet. Really good with naan bread, if you can get some frozen ones to reheat. I don't have a lot of time in the morning to prepare, so I need something quick and healthy, but which is also satisfying.

I find it very versatile, can be enjoyed breakfast, lunch, or dinner
