“Flavor-wise, on its own, Menemen is like a Shakshouka or a French Piperade or an Indian Bhurji or some can even argue that it’s similar to Huevos Rancheros, but Menemen is the engine of brunch in Turkey.
It is the central point of a traditional breakfast display including an array of sweet, spicy, salty, fried, and rich foods that are meant to be eaten one after the other, with bread of course.
The Turkish breakfast was by far the best breakfast experience I’ve had and Menemen was at center stage of the lavish spread that brought it all together.”
