Keto Turkish Menemen - Scrambled Eggs In Tomato Sauce#EatTheWorld

Menemen is basically scrambled eggs with tomatoes or what I would say is scrambled eggs in tomato sauce. This easy menemen recipe of soft, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and peppers , I have also added a tablespoon of Feta cheese for an extra flavor! This simple one-pan dish comes together in 20 minutes or less and makes the perfect breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Enjoy this dish with your favorite bread!

This dish gets its name from the Turkish market town of Menemen, a small town located just off the main highway of north Izmir. Shakshuka and Menemen are more or less considered to be close cousins. These two egg dishes are quite similar since they share some key ingredients (eggs, tomatoes, peppers), but the seasoning and preparations differ.

Serves 3
Ingredients  
2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2 Green Peppers - finely chopped
4 Medium Tomatoes - grated
½ Teaspoon Salt
½ Teaspoon Red Chilly powder
4 Eggs
½ Teaspoon Black pepper powder
1 Tablespoon Crumbled Feta Cheese - optional
Coriander Leaves or Parsley - to garnish

Method  

Heat olive oil in a pan.  Cook chopped peppers in it for 2-3 minutes.  Add in tomatoes.  Season with salt and paprika and cook over medium low heat until tomatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. add the feta cheese and give it a light mix. This gives more flavor to the dish (it's optional) Now reduce the heat a bit.

Using a spoon, make rooms for each egg and break eggs into those hollows. Let it simmer uncovered till eggs whites are just set.     

Then with a spoon just break the egg yolks lightly and lightly fold the tomato mixture into the eggs. until the eggs are slightly cooked for 5 -8 minutes.  

Do not over cook the eggs should be soft. Switch off the flame and as it is cooling the egg will continue to cook.

Sprinkle black pepper and red pepper flakes over it. Garnish with herbs like parsley or chopped green onions and serve.

Serve it with your favorite bread

Baked Chicken Borek#Foodieextravaganza

Turkish cuisine is famous for its  varieties of layered pies and pastries, called ‘Börek‘. Borek is a  made of thin layers of dough called yufka or phyllo, that can hold variety of fillings like cheese, spinach, meat or chicken etc. 

Borek often described as flaky  pastry pie ; made with several layers of yufka or phyllo sheets with oil or butter in middle of each layer.

This dish is best for your parties or tea times and this is a must try delicious recipe. Made this for my anniversary tea party with my trekking group. Made two of these one chicken and the other vegetarian one, which I will be posting later.
I have used the homemade phyllo sheets.. check this here Phyllo Pastry Sheets - Homemade

Ingredients  

12 Filo pastry  Sheets  or as required
For filling  

500 Grams Chicken Mince
2 Large Onions - finely chopped
1 Teaspoon Minced  Ginger  

1 Teaspoon Minced Garlic
Salt to taste

¼ Teaspoon Turmeric powder 
1 Teaspoon  Paprika powder
3 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Coriander leaves

2 Tablespoons Oil
For the pastry

100 Grams Butter  - melted 

A small Egg for brushing the pastry on top

Method

To make the filling  

Heat oil in a pan add the chopped onions and saute till they soften , now add the minced ginger and garlic and saute till then start to release an aroma.  Add chicken mince and turmeric powder  stir on high heat until  turns pink to white.  Add the paprika and salt, mix well and let it cook till  all the  juices evaporates and turns dry. Let it cool. Now add the coriander leaves and mix well.

For the layering 

Grease baking pan,  with melted butter well . Layer a sheet of filo pastry, brush it lavishly with melted butter, I layered 6 sheets and brushed each with melted butter.  After the 6th sheet , spread the chicken filling evenly and press it lightly.

Now add the remaining 6 sheets, brushing each sheet with melted butter and then keep the next sheet.  After all the sheets are placed, brush the top lavishly with butter.  

Now brush it with egg 

Give cuts  with knife , as per your desired size pieces right till the bottom taking care not the separate the sheets.  

Bake it in a preheated oven at 170 C, for 35 to 40 minutes or until it gets a nicely  golden. 

Chicken Borek is ready to serve.  

These were flaky and scrumptious, enjoyed by all.

My Notes:

While layering the sheets tend to tear or break, but do not worry since they will be covered with other sheets. You can use even the cut sheet or torn sheets for layering. Even I have used the some pieces of sheets or torn sheets for layering.
