Menemen is a classic Turkish breakfast, which is also great for lunch and supper. This juicy scramble is made with diced vegetables and eggs, which makes a perfect breakfast with slice of bread. I selected this recipe from "The Breakfast Bible" by Seb Emina, or Malcolm Eggs. This book encourage us to stop grabbing that usual quick breakfast of cereal or toast, and to try something different. This book not only provide English breakfast recipes but also deals with many traditional recipes from other part of world.
