Herbs Frittata (Kookoo Sabzi)

kookoo sabzi

Serves 2-4
Herbs Preparation
½ large onion
1 large leek, chopped, washed and dried
1 bunch parlsey, stems removed, washed and dried
½ bunch cilantro, stems removed, washed and dried
½ bunch green onions, chopped, washed and dried
(optionally you can use ½ fresh herbs and ½ frozen herbs bought from a persian market. I like to do this and freeze the remainder)

Grate the onion in a bowl. Pour into a colander and strain. You will probably need to squeeze the mixture a bit to remove all liquids. I let it sit over night in the refrigerator as well to make sure all liquids are removed. Separately place all dried greens in a food processor and blend until well incorporated.

Frittata Preparation
3½ – 4 cups of the Herbs mixture from above
onion mixture from above
½ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup barberries
½ cup walnuts chipped
4 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons oat flour (ground up oats)

Add the onions and the greens mixture to a bowl and mix. Add turmeric, salt, and pepper. Add barberries and walnuts. Add eggs and mix. Add oat flour and mix well. Pour mixture into a well greased baking pan. I use a 8×4 bread pan. Bake the frittata in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes. Then broil on low/medium or 350 degrees for an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
