Menemen
Menemen is a Turkish breakfast dish: scrambled eggs, spices, tomatoes. Simple! It’s the most comforting of all ways to start – or end – the day. The key is to add the eggs off the heat, so that they cook gently in the residual warmth of the pan. Serve with buttered toast or a leafy salad with slices of avocado
