Persian Vegetable Casserole Kukune Sabzi Food

KUKU SABZI

Steps:

• First wash the vegetables and remove the water to dry them, then chop the vegetables into small pieces.
• After chopping the vegetables, stir fry them with a small amount of liquid oil in the pan for a really short time. After stir frying the vegetables, set them aside until they cool down.
• Now break the eggs in a large bowl separately. Add a small amount of salt, some pepper and turmeric to the eggs. Now, barberries and walnuts can be added to the eggs. Mix the ingredients well until they are completely consistent. Now add the half-fried vegetables.
• It's time to fry the Kuku Sabzi. Choose a large pan and add some oil to it. Heat the oil and add the mixture to the pan. Let the bottom of the mixture be completely roasted and even crusty(be careful not to burn it), then turn it upside down so that the other side is also fried. To turn it around, you need to cut it in slices.
• After both sides of the dish are fried, the KooKoo Sabzi is ready.

KUKU SABZI

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.

KUKU SABZI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 ̊ F. Crack the eggs into a blender and give them a quick pulse just to whisk them. Add the herbs, scallions, turmeric, sumac, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and the yogurt. Pulse to chop the herbs, then blend on high speed until smooth.
• Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, breaking up any clumps of herbs. Sprinkle with the walnuts and currants and cook until the eggs start to set around the edges, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the center is set but still slightly jiggly, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit 5 minutes. Meanwhile, warm the pita in the oven.
• Slice the kuku sabzi and the pita into wedges and divide among plates. Serve with lemon wedges, pickles, olives, pickled peppers and/or marinated artichokes. Add a dollop of yogurt to each plate; drizzle the yogurt with olive oil and sprinkle with sumac.
