Ingredients

  • 1 cup Fresh Parsley
  • 1 cup Fresh Cilantro
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Dill
  • 1/2 cup Green Onions
  • 6 Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Barberries (Zereshk)
  • 2 tablespoons Walnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. 1Finely chop the 1 cup Fresh Parsley, 1 cup Fresh Cilantro, 1/2 cup Fresh Dill, and 1/2 cup Green Onions.
  2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 Eggs, 2 tablespoons Rice Flour, 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Salt, and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper until everything is well combined.
  3. 3Add the chopped herbs and green onions from step 1 to the egg mixture. Also add the 2 tablespoons Barberries and 2 tablespoons Walnuts. Stir everything together until it is evenly mixed.
  4. 4Heat 2 tablespoons Olive Oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C).
  5. 5Pour the herb and egg mixture into the heated skillet and spread it out evenly to cover the bottom of the pan.
