Don't know where you live, but in general you shouldn't buy tomatoes in winter in the West of Europe because in general it's just water disguised as a tomato
Have you ever tried "pimping" them a bit? Cut them in fine slices, add freshly grinded black pepper and salt, pour fine olive oil and add fresh basil or other herbs you like. That tastes like summer really

Ohh I love that too. I used to toast some white slices of bread in the toaster, rub them with garlic and put some salted butter over it (which obviously will melt) and then add the crushed 'herbed' tomatoes!

When we ran out of fresh basil, I used a little bit of dried oregano.

Some people add shredded meat (we call KIYMA) or some white cheese, to menemen.
I prefer it without cheese, kıyma and onion.
but adding some shredded red pepper.

How do you eat it? I mean...is it a dip like a Meze? Or a sauce?

I would love to try it as my first Turkish cooking but I don't know what you eat with it!
