Substitution

Green bell pepper in place of “Turkish sivri peppers”. Green bell pepper is used because sivri peppers are not a canonical ingredient; it is milder and thicker-walled.

Method

Heat the olive oil in a skillet and cook the green pepper until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and salt and cook until most of the liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes.
Pour in the eggs and stir gently over low heat until softly set.
Sprinkle with chili flakes and parsley if using and serve immediately.
