Kookoo Sabzi

By Persian Recipes Kookoo 1 Comment »

This is a simple Kookoo Sabzi recipe…there are a few different ingredients that can be added to vary the Kookoo Sabzi. Kookoo is considered a souffle and Kookoo Sabzi is a vegetable souffle with various green vegetables mixed in with eggs (and a few other things) and then cooked.

Ingredients:
2 packages (baste) Parsley
2 packages Cilantro
1/2 package spinach
2 packages green onions –only use the ends where it is green in place of Tareh
1 - 2 tablespoons dill (dry or fresh)
Garlic — finely diced or grated
4 eggs
Turmeric
Salt/pepper — dont add too much salt because it can become bitter
a pinch of Baking powder
oil

Directions:
After cleaning and rinsing the sabzi (vegetables) you want to chop them up…can use a food processor to simplify the task. Note: I typically let the vegetables soak in water for at least 30 minutes before rinsing them to make sure all the dirt is removed. In a bowl add the chopped vegetables, garlic, turmeric, a little salt, pepper, baking powder, and then the eggs. Mix all ingredients well.

In a frying pan (that has a lid) pour in a good amount of oil. Put on the stove on a medium- high heat and once the oil is heated add the mixed ingredients and flatten out in the pan. After a few minutes bring the temperature to medium and place the lid on the frying pan. After about 15 minutes you want to cut up the Kookoo Sabzi into 4 or more pieces and then flip it over for the other side to fry as well. You should notice a darker green color to the side that is fried…if needed you can allow it to fry a bit longer before flipping it over. When you flip it over you will cover the frying pan with the lid again and allow it to cook another 15 - 20 minutes.

You can serve the Kookoo Sabzi with bread or with Sabzi Polo. In fact many times I have eaten Sabzi Polo ba Mahi and Kookoo Sabzi. Very tasty :)

Kookoo is basically a type of Persian Frittata and I finally decided to make Kookoo Sibzamini (potato); however it came out really thin cause I used a large frying pan and only 2 large potatoes :P. Below I have provided the exact ingredients needed for a large frying pan.

Ingredients:
4 potatoes –boiled in water until cooked
3-4 eggs
turmeric
salt/pepper
pinch of Baking powder
oil

Directions:
After the potatoes are ready and you peel off the skin you want to mash them up. Add the eggs, turmeric, salt, pepper, and baking powder to the mashed potatoes and mix well. Pour some oil into your frying pan and allow it to heat up on high. Make sure you pour enough oil into the pan. Pour in your mixture and after a few minutes take the temperature down to medium and place a lid on the frying pan. Allow it to cook and then cut it up into 4 sections and flip the pieces over for the opposite side to cook as well. The top and bottom should get a golden brown color.
