So, there is this famous Turkish dish called menemen. It does not look very appetizing:

It is prepared using scrambled eggs, tomatoes, green pepper, onion and cheese. Here is a detailed recipe.

There are some variations which don't use scrambled eggs, but sunny side up eggs, which might be a nice solution. However, the original dish is with scrambled eggs and I don't want to alter the recipe.

Are there any ways to prepare menemen and not make it look like vomit?

Best Answer

Without altering the recipe, that's what it'll look like (which I don't think is a bad thing, I like menemen a lot). However, if looks are more important, you could do a French alternative, piperade, instead. Its basically eggs cracked into salsa, rather than salsa added to eggs.

    Answer 2

    I would scramble the eggs, cook, & leave as one solid disc, turning once & allow to brown a bit in the pan, for flavor. Remove it from the pan & cut into 8 slices. Top each slice with the prepared sauce. Garlic sausage on the side. Top with fresh parsley & crumbled feta.

    Answer 3

    Well, if it looks tasty would be subjective... to me, it looks like a nice, quick comfort-food for cold winter evenings.
    But I think I have an idea what you may be looking for :).
    What comes to mind is:
    Do the scrambled eggs on the side, making sure you season them well -> arrange in a circle to go around your menemen.
    For the rest, only use the non-watery part of the tomato, and keep the pieces larger.
    Prepare rest as instructed.
    Put into the middle of your scrambled eggs.
    Enjoy :).
