Breakfast

Traditional mediterranean stir fry breakfast. Great for a weekend morning alternative to "sausage & eggs". It's not really an omelette because the eggs are optional & even if you do put them on, they are just "drizzled" over the top, not stirred in.Serve it with chopped cucumbers, feta cheese & black olives. Dip into it with whole wheat pita bread. Serve with tea (traditional mediterranean tea is similar to Orange Pekoe, served black, with sugar or sweetener, but no milk).As a side, you can also take whole hot banana peppers or the long green chili peppers & roast them directly on the burner (med heat, no pan necessary - just watch them carefully). They will turn a bit black on the outside. Flip them over to cook evenly. Variations on the melamen:-Use with Hot Banana Peppers for a yummy "hot" variety-Add mushrooms if you like them (I don't which is why I don't add them). -Eliminate the egg, it is not a necessary ingredient (This makes it vegan friendly.)-If you like eggs, then add 2 egg-whites instead of 1 whole egg for lower cholesterol version.-This is SO YUMMY with butter (add 1-2 tbsp at the same time as the tomatoes), if you can afford the fat & cholesterol.
