Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Stir in the onions, pepper and chillies. Cook until they begin to soften. Add the can of tomatoes and sugar, mixing well. Cook until the liquid has reduced, season.

  • step 2

    Using a wooden spoon, create 4 pockets in the tomato mixture and crack the eggs into them. Cover the pan and cook the eggs over a low heat until just set.

  • step 3

    Beat the yogurt with the garlic and season. Sprinkle the dish with parsley and serve from the frying pan with a dollop of the garlic-flavoured yogurt.

This is not Menemen. Menemen is a Turkish scrambled egg This is Shakshuka

I agree with most of the comments: it's OK, but add more flavouring unless you like your food bland.

I think you must have not made it right. Delicious.

I think you've got the wrong Mediterranean egg dish here... Menemen involves scrambling the eggs in a spice mix. This looks like Shakshuka, in which the eggs are poached in a spiced vegetable sauce. They're quite different! I'd recommend that this article should be reviewed, preferably by a Turkish…

Agreed. Not Menemen. More like Shakshuka but I don't remember yogurt being in either recipe
