Jump to: navigation, search
Menemen, is a Turkish dish which includes egg, onion, tomato and green peppers (paprika) and spices (such as ground black pepper, ground red pepper, salt, oregano, and mint). Black or Green olives can also be included as ingredients. Turkish sausages such as Sucuk or Pastırma can be added, although this strays from the traditional recipe. It is cooked with butter, although olive oil may also be used. The dish is very similar to the Shakshouka.
It is commonly eaten for breakfast with bread.[1]

[edit] Preparation
First, Onions are sauteed with the heated butter or oil. Then the green peppers.Once the onions become soft and lighter in color, the tomatoes and olives are added. Tomatoes should become very soft and also change color. Finally the eggs and spices are added, mixed with the other ingredients and cooked. The eggs should be fully cooked but not dry.
In restaurants, Menemen is usually cooked and served in single-serving metal pans.

REV 2::8,9

İzmir'deki topluluğa
8-9«İzmir'deki topluluğun meleğine yaz. Ölmüş ve yaşama dönmüş, ilk ve son olan şöyle diyor: `Senin sıkıntılarını ve yoksulluğunu biliyorum. Oysa zenginsin! Yahudi olduklarını söyleyen, ama Yahudi değil de Şeytan'ın havrası durumunda olanların iftiralarını biliyorum. 10Çekmek üzere olduğun sıkıntılardan korkma! Bak, İblis sizi sınamak için aranızdan bazılarını yakında zindana atacak ve on gün süreyle sıkıntı çekeceksiniz. Ölüm pahasına da olsa sadık kal, ben sana yaşam tacını vereceğim. 11Kulağı olan, Ruh'un topluluklara ne dediğini işitsin. Galip gelen, ikinci ölümden hiçbir zarar görmeyecek

Rev 2:8-11
The Persecuted Church
8 "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,
'These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: 9 "I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death."' NKJV
