500 grams Sabzi KuKu (vegetables for cooking kooKoo Sabzi)
4 eggs
1 soupspoon grated garlic
Barberries and walnuts ((for topping the dish), as much as required)
Salt and pepper (as much as required)

Steps:

  • First wash the vegetables and remove the water to dry them, then chop the vegetables into small pieces.
  • After chopping the vegetables, stir fry them with a small amount of liquid oil in the pan for a really short time. After stir frying the vegetables, set them aside until they cool down.
  • Now break the eggs in a large bowl separately. Add a small amount of salt, some pepper and turmeric to the eggs. Now, barberries and walnuts can be added to the eggs. Mix the ingredients well until they are completely consistent. Now add the half-fried vegetables.
  • It's time to fry the Kuku Sabzi. Choose a large pan and add some oil to it. Heat the oil and add the mixture to the pan. Let the bottom of the mixture be completely roasted and even crusty(be careful not to burn it), then turn it upside down so that the other side is also fried. To turn it around, you need to cut it in slices.
  • After both sides of the dish are fried, the KooKoo Sabzi is ready.

KUKU SABZI



Kuku Sabzi image

Kuku sabzi is a traditional Persian dish that is a herb-heavy frittata. The egg is really just a binder to hold all of the herbs together, it is not the main component of this dish. Serve with flatbread, yogurt, pickled onions, feta, and pomegranate seeds. It is wonderful hot, or at room temp. Great light lunch or an appetizer for a casual cocktail.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large leek
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground fenugreek
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 ½ cups finely chopped fresh parsley
1 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
¾ cup finely chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Slice leek in half lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch, nonstick, broiler-safe skillet over medium heat. Add leek and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler with the rack in the upper third position.
  • Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add baking powder, fenugreek, salt, and turmeric, and whisk to thoroughly combine. Fold parsley, cilantro, dill, and leeks into eggs. Gently stir to combine; the mixture will be mostly herbs, with just enough egg to wet the mixture through.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add herb mixture and distribute evenly in the pan, smoothing the top. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until the bottom and edges are just set, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook until the top and middle is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
