Turkish Scrambled Eggs

This is another recipe from the book Ozlem’s Turkish Table. Whilst not a bbq book the recipes can easily be done on the BBQ.
Menemen is a turkish scrambled eggs with vegetables which is popular in many Turkish households as a weekend breakfast.
I cooked this a few weeks ago as part of a COVID 19 lockdown bbq competition and served it in a bacon weave basket with a bloody mary, it would be just as nice served on sourdough toast
