Kookoo Sabzi (Frittata)

My partner is Persian and has greatly influenced my cooking. This is one of his favorite dishes. It is essentially a frittata. This dish is full of herbs and is generally eaten for breakfast or dinner. This is a bit of stray from the traditional recipe. Feel free to add any veggies just like you would a frittata.

1 white onion

2 cloves garlic

2 cups chopped parsley

2 cups cilantro

1 cup chopped green onions

1 cup chopped dill

1/4 cup barberries (order on amazon)

2 tabs chopped walnuts

1/2 teas turmeric

1 teas salt

1/2 teas pepper

1/2 teas red pepper flakes

1 tabs nut flour (almond)

1 teas baking powder

6-8 eggs

A lot of olive oil

Slice onion into very thin shoe string strips. In a 12 inch cast iron skillet, sauté the onion and chopped garlic with olive oil until browned (5-6 min). Next add the herbs, spices, flour, and baking powder. Stir until the herbs are wilted.

In a large bowl whisk all the eggs together with a pinch of salt and the barberries. Add a bit of olive oil to the sautéed herbs. Pour over herbs and give a mix to separate the herbs throughout the eggs evenly. Pour a bit of olive oil around the edges of the skillet and place in an oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
