Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 cup Fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped
- 0.25 cup Barberries
- 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking powder
- 0.75 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, 0.75 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp black pepper, 0.5 tsp turmeric powder, and 0.5 tsp baking powder until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
- 3Add the 2 cups of finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 cup of finely chopped fresh cilantro, 0.5 cup of finely chopped fresh dill, 1 cup of finely chopped fresh spinach, 0.5 cup of chopped walnuts, 0.25 cup of barberries, 0.5 medium finely chopped onion, and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
- 4Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat on your stovetop, then add the 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Heat the oil for 1 to 2 minutes, until it appears to shimmer slightly.
- 5Carefully pour the entire egg and herb mixture into the hot 10-inch skillet. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to gently spread the mixture out evenly across the bottom of the skillet.
- 6Cook the mixture on the stovetop for 5 to 7 minutes over medium heat, until you observe the edges of the frittata beginning to set and pull away slightly from the sides of the skillet.
- 7Carefully transfer the skillet from the stovetop to the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up, feels firm when gently pressed in the center, and has a light golden brown color on top.
- 8Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and place it on a heat-safe surface. Allow the Kuku Sabzi to cool in the skillet for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving; this cooling period helps it to firm up slightly and makes it easier to cut.
