Menemen is a Turkish dish that should be more famous than it is. It's one of my favorite breakfast (or lunch, or dinner, or whenever) dishes ever. Tomatoes, peppers, good olive oil, eggs, and a little magic. Your mouth won't know what hit it.
Or maybe it will know exactly what hit it: Tomatoes, peppers, good olive oil, eggs, and a little magic.
You can get a written recipe (that I never actually follow) here on Serious Eats: www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2...
PLEASE READ!
The coronavirus has hit many folks hard, including first responders and hospital workers, individuals and families who were already food insecure, and service industry employees who are, for the large part, currently out of a job.
My goal is to help fix both these problems in the best way I know how to contribute: organizing people, and cooking food.
If you would like to donate to our free meal fund, head to www.toasttab.com/wursthall/ where you can buy a boxed meal for someone in need. These boxes go directly to the frontline workers and food insecure families who have been hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. They also allow me to hire back my kitchen team to cook and pack these meals (in a safe, clean way). So far we have served nearly 500 meals, and the number goes up every week.
If you would like to make a monthly recurring donation of any size, head to my Patreon account at / kenjilopezalt . 100% of the proceeds go directly to the free meal fund. You can also help by buying my books at bookshop.org/shop/kenjilopezalt where 100% of my sales commission goes to the free meal fund, and an additional 10% goes to independent book stores around the country.
Finally, stay safe. Here is my guide to food safety and the coronavirus, written with the consultation of virologists, food safety experts, and infectious disease specialists, and kept up to date as new research emerges: www.seriouseats.com/2020/03/f...

Nobody: Kenji: You can put lots of different things in Menemen, the ancient Persians actually used to add the blood of their enemies to add a little bit of metallic flavor. I actually happen to have a little bit of that lying around in the fridge; last night I killed a few of my enemies. It reminds me of back when I worked simultaneously in 17 restaurants in Instanbul for 532 years and we used to add wild boar hair to our coffee every morning.

What I learned from this and a brief internet-searching rabbit hole, including the testimony of some agonised immigrants to the USA, is that clotted cream doesn’t really seem to be a thing there (ETA: the USA)? V curious if that’s really true, now, or if it’s maybe regional or something. It’s a treat but still quite standard in the UK, so I’m really doubting the results of google-fu. Surely the USA has clotted cream..?

Agreed. I think bigger differences are the harder crust for pide (Turkish bread) and a chewy texture versus soft crust and fluffy texture for focaccia. And yes, no oil in Turkish bread as far as I know. I love them both. Focaccia is easier to make with shorter proofing times.

Closest thing to Turkish bread is Chef John's French Sandwich Rolls recipe. Edit: the bread in the video looks like Turkish Pide bread. Its airy, shaped like a pizza with small squares in the middle made by poking with fingers, brushed with egg and dusted with sesame seeds. It's a tradition to eat it during Ramadan. Long lines form in front of the bakeries for it. Chef John's version is like our basic, everyday bread but bakeries sell a lot of types of bread.

I just happened to come across a video of Kenji a couple of days ago and subscribed. Enjoy the way he cooks and teaches at the same time. But I love the fact that he gives his “best friend” a taste in the last few videos I’ve watched! 🐶❤️

Omg, my favourite person loves my favourite dish! Also, technically kaymak isn't a cheese, it's closer to clotted cream but without the baking and the caramelised flavour it brings

as a turkish-american it's so weird (in a good way) to be reminded of my culture through such a great video, every time you mentioned another food of some kind (kefir, kaymak, pastirma, sucuk, etc.) i'd smile so hard!!! love this :)

Amazing recipe, as someone Turkish I would recommend this menemen recipe to my friends 10/10. Touch on the onion debate was cool, I prefer without. Even the tomato pulping method is exactly how my mom showed me to prepare it for this dish. Once comment tho, 'kaymak' is no where near anything like cheese. It's basically clotted cream.

Hello Kenji, my first comment here! Im from Chile and we call this "Tomatican". Indeed should be more famous than it is, many people know about it but no one actually eats this or offer this anywhere but countryside southern families. Its a specially delicious summertime breakfast or dinner, tomates maduros are a must. Its a shame we cant have tasty tomatoes all year long. I make mine with onions, garlic and countryside fresh cheese, I would not recommend "Queso fresco" because it doesnt melt very well. For spicing thing up we use "merken" wich is smoked chilli flakes and to fancy things up I use oregano fresco or basil or anything fresh really. The queso fresco with honey was deep into my childhood but with tortilla from my abuelita...It makes me warm inside to know I have this flavors with me like my country-side ancestors did. You got my with this one, thanks!

I follow several food youtubers and you can tell which ones have their backgrounds working as a professional chef in a working restaurant. Kenji and Josh Weisman for example: constantly wiping behind themselves and always have dish towels on standby, use delis to store EVERYTHING (and even drink out of like it was a glass,) use sheet trays in all their sizes.....its the little things.
