200 g sucuk (spicy Turkish sausage) - approx. 0.4lbs cut into thin rings
½ onion diced
spring onion sliced - omit the green part
1 400g (14.5oz can) diced tomatoes or 6 diced fresh tomatoes
1 tablespoon cooking oil
3 long Turkish bell peppers cut into thin strips- (alternatively, use 1 large bell pepper)
3 eggs
1 tablespoon paprika powder (smoked or sweet)
salt and pepper to taste
½ teaspoon pul biber (Turkish red pepper flakes) see notes
100 g crumbled feta cheese - approx. 0.2lbs
a handful of chopped parsley

In a pan without any fat, sauté the sucuk, onions, and green onions, for 5 minutes.
Add the cooking oil, tomatoes, bell peppers, paprika powder, salt, and pepper to the pan, and continue to simmer for 10 minutes or until a thick sauce forms.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl, season with salt and a bit of Pul Biber (red chili flakes), and lightly stir to break up the yolks a bit.
Carefully stir in crumbled feta into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and gently stir to scramble the eggs.
Reduce the heat to a low, and cook covered for about 5 minutes or until the eggs are set but still fluffy then serve.

You can use regular chili pepper flakes in place of pul biber.
