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.

This recipe is a great starting point for kuku sabzi, but I like to add a few extra ingredients to give it more flavor. I usually add some chopped walnuts and pomegranate seeds.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my kuku sabzi didn't turn out as well as I expected. It was a bit dry and bland.

This kuku sabzi was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
