MENEMEN

Servings: 2-3
Difficulty: Medium
Prep Time: 7 minutes
Cooking time: 12 minutes

2 medium tomatoes, peeled and diced (alternatively, use tomato puree)
2 tablespoons butter
2 green peppers, thinly sliced (a finely chopped large bell pepper would do great as well)
2 eggs
6 slices of sucuk, sliced into stripes (60 gr, sucuk is a dry, spicy and fermented Turkish meat. Alternatively, you can use chorizo)
2 slices of pastırma, finely sliced (20 gr, pastırma is a very spicy, air-dried cured beef. Bacon, prosciutto works good as well.)
5 tablespoons grated kaşar cheese (70-75 gr, any kind of fresh melting cheese that works like mozzarella, young cheddar or gouda)
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

• Heat a small frying pan on low heat and add the butter.
• Add in the green peppers when the butter is barely browned.
• Fry the peppers for about two minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes and simmer for 7-8 minutes with the lid on until tomatoes are soft.
• Then, mash the tomatoes with a masher.
• Add in the sucuk, pastırma and a tablespoon of grated kaşar cheese.
• Give it a stir and add salt to your taste, unless you are using a salty cured meat.
• Mix in the eggs. Place the rest of the kaşar cheese on top.
• Sprinkle the red pepper flakes and cook for another minute until the cheese melts.
• Dip in your crispy bread and enjoy it with a glass of Turkish tea

  • Probably the best decision you ever made in YouTube is a channel with recipes in English. I always wanted the Turkish cuisine to become more popular and I wanted the people get it in the right way. I watched some videos some foreign cooks that cooking Turkish stuff but I don't know, they got the recipes wrong, they tried to make them in European or in a modern way bla bla, the Turkish food is not mixing great with the modern cuisine, it needs to be accepted as what it is. I've been watching you since you had a TV show, it's been 6-8 years I don't know, I was in high school. Love you so much. Hope the channel gets bigger and bigger.

    I gotta say, one thing I love about Rekifa's cooking is how easily she just suggests alternatives without complaining about authenticity. I love Turkish cooking in general but obviously around the world different tastes and food availability is gonna happen. She makes note of what is traditional or common and then goes on to add what changes could easily be made to suit taste and availability. Looks fantastic, btw.
  • @elliotlee2150
    Never have I made any comments on anyone's videos but your videos with your warm personality and the beautiful people who surround you just bring not only delicious cultural cuisine of your Nation but hope in all senses to the soul. Thank you, really
  • @sibelka1994
    "if French people made this, it would be world famous" As a Turkish person living in France and watching a Turkish cuisine channel in English, I can confirm 😅
  • @bryantbravo9363
    I'm so glad YouTube recommended me this. Going to explore Turkish food from now on

  • @janhughes7786
    Hello from Wales ❤️ I was supposed to paint my walls today but I watched your videos all day instead. We had this for brunch so my husband has forgiven me 😁 I can't wait to try more of your recipes . Thank you X
  • @tmowoodz
    oh my lord! I just made this. how can such simple ingredients create somethings so flavorful?! 100/10 GREAT recipe!
  • ahhhhh!!!!! I've been trying to figure out a meal that I had when I was a kid on holiday in turkey for the last 26 years... it was this!!! Thank you!!!!

    I used to have GF from Turkey a few years ago. We were together for 3-4 years. I used to visit her and her parents and omg that food though. They really know how to cook. Always got fresh veggies from the market. They were huge with strong color. The amount of different cheese they had, and the sausages. This is first time Ive seen someone make this dish in years, not exactly the same. But the amount of butter, the right ingredients, the turkish dialect, the way you peel the tomato. Brings back so many memories. Just missing cumin, that stuff was in everything
  • @imaginative_
    Her explanations in English are great and makes you want to try all the dishes she’s cooking in her videos. But believe me, in Turkish she’s on a whole different level, since it’s her mother tongue. Her enthusiastic explanations always make my mouth water 😂 seni seviyoruz Refika abla ❤️
  • Ha! Totally agree with you Refika! If the French made menemen it would be “world class”. I will tell you what’s world class… MENEMEN and cilbir and iskender kabob and hunkar begendi etc etc etc…. As an American who was introduced to Turkish food a decade ago… it doesn’t get enough love. I love all Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food, and Turkish is just at the top. Its Mediterranean done BETTER… done BEST. The breads, the cheeses, the salads, the sweets. It’s a wonderland. 🥲
  • I have never seen someone expressing so much passion and love while cooking. Refika you have amazing contiguous positive energy and the inspiration you carry through all your videos is amazing. Ağzımın sullari aktı izlerken. Acayip lezzetli görünüyor.
  • @DavidKirtley
    I love seeing different cultures that come up with similar solutions. In Mexican cooking, they make something similar but use salsa instead of the tomatoes. The extra that they do is using left over corn tortillas. They cut them up and toast them in oil and build this over them. They are called chiliquiles.
  • @TheBigLeRemski
    I love the Turkisch cuisine and I have learned so much extra from your videos. In the Netherlands we are so lucky that we can find all the ingredients because of all the Turkish supermarkets. Thank you for all your tutorials, they really are great fun to watch and have inspired me to cook more Turkish recipes. A big compliment to all your colleagues too. Your videos are really nice. I think the Turkish supermarket in my neighbourhood is thankful also because I come there much more often now because of your videos.
  • I visited Turkiye in July for 12 days and fell in love with the food, people and culture. When I came back home to Canada 🇨🇦, I just had to cook some Turkish food. I love cooking and trying new recipes. I discovered Rafika’s channel and love her energy, recipes and shared love of cooking. I made menemen for breakfast this morning and we loved it. It was a dish I tried in Istanbul. I’ve also made Rafika’s ezme and doner. All in a week of being home! Love how healthy and fresh all the food is!! ❤ Thank you, Rafika - I love your kitchen and view of the Bosporus. How lucky you are to live in such a beautiful place! I hope to return someday.
  • @Mehaara
    Love your recipes. I am German but grew up in Istanbul and your recipes and the views of the city bring me right back home. :-)
  • @archyology
    Ah man I made my version of this today, amazing recipe. I had tomato, red onion, spring onion, harissa paste which I sautéed with butter and olive oil. Added some spinach too, then mozarella cheese and the eggs. With freshly baked bread it was a great meal. ❤️ from South Africa
