When I was in Turkey (4 years ago) I had breakfast in Southern Turkey (Oludeniz) that consisted of a tomato, onion & green capsicum stew with an egg mixed into it. It had the consistency of thick soup and was served warm. It is a marvelous hangover cure and I would like the recipe. The dish began with 'M' and was (something like) Metholin (although that isn't correct - as I said it was breakfast time and I did have a hangover) Any help appreciated Simon

methaglin? [Word that got into my brain somehow without any shred of a
definition attached to it, but it sounds like it might fit...]

It could well be! It's the recipe I'm after! Where is the Istambul input when you need it!? | |||||
| 3777.3 | It's Menemen ....? | MILE::PRIEST | All at sea at Solent | Mon Apr 05 1993 10:17 | 29 |
Apparently named after the Turkish town of Menemen, near the West
coast. I haven't tried out the recipe, so let us know how it turns out.
4 tbsp olive oil
1 1/4 lbs tomatoes, skinned and chopped
1 tsp dried marjoram
1/2 tsp sugar
2 green peppers, de-seeded and chopped
3 oz. feta cheese, cut in small pieces
6 eggs, beaten lightly
salt and black pepper
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the tomatoes, marjoram
and seasoning and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until
most of the moisture has evaporated and a rich sauce is formed. The
cooking time will vary according to the ripeness of the tomatoes.
Add the sugar and peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes longer, then add the
cheese, mix well and pour the beaten eggs all over. Mix lightly with a
fork or wooden spatula as for scrambled eggs and season. Cook for 4-6
minutes until the eggs are set to your taste and serve.
You can substitute Caerphilly cheese for the feta, if necessary.

This sounds like the very thing although I don't remember it being sweet to the taste - maybe the sugar just takes the "edge" off the cheese. I can THOROUGHLY recommend this, especially if you're feeling a touch delicate. Thanks Jim | |||||
