Menemen Turkish omelet

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a quick and juicy Turkish omelet Menemen? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients to taste. If there is no large tomato, you can replace it with 2 small ones. You can take any vegetable oil. I have sunflower oil. You can take 1 tsp of vegetable and butter.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash and dry the bell pepper. Remove the seeds and stalk. Cut the pulp into strips. For the beauty of the dish, I took green bell pepper. You can take pepper of any color. In Turkey, instead of Bulgarian pepper, a different variety is used for an omelet: the pods are oblong, like Ramiro pepper, but dark green. Pepper is not as spicy as chili, but not quite sweet either. We have never seen such pepper in stores. Therefore, I replaced it with a more affordable one.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour boiling water over the tomato and remove the skin. How easy is it to peel tomatoes? Wash them, make criss-cross incisions on top with a sharp knife. Put it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove, cool slightly and remove the skin. Cut the tomato in half and remove the seeds. Cut the pulp into small cubes.

   Wash, dry and finely chop the parsley. If desired, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, dill, cilantro or use a mixture of different herbs.
