  1. Finely chop the green chili and yellow bell peppers—about 1 cm in length is ideal.

  2. Sauté the peppers in olive oil until slightly softened.

  3. Add the tomato purée and sauté briefly.

  4. Lower the heat to the minimum, then add salt and pepper.

  5. Gently crack the eggs over the menemen mixture without breaking the yolks.

  6. Use a spoon or spatula to create a small well underneath each egg to ensure the yolk touches the pan—keep the heat very low.

  7. Let it cook slowly without covering or stirring!

  8. Once the egg whites are fully set and cooked, your menemen is ready. The yolks should remain runny.

  9. Turn off the heat. Avoid transferring to a plate, as it may break the yolks—serve directly from the pan if possible.

  10. Top with cubed curd cheese, chopped parsley, and finally the walnuts (chopped finely with a knife, not crushed into powder).
