Persian Herb Omelette Kuku

Recipe #222125 | 1½ hours | 1 hour prep | add private note

This is mostly greens and very little egg. This recipes makes a lot extra so you can have greens kept in the freezer to pull out and add egg to make in a jiffy. Half a mixing bowl of greens will yield one Kuku omelette for 2 people or slice like pizza and serve for appetizers with pita bread.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Clean and dry all the fresh herbs well.
  2. 2
    Chop up all the herbs (this recipe makes enough to freeze a lot of the herbs in a large tupperware for future use.
  3. 3
    In a medium size mixing bowl combine herbs - fill bowl almost halfway.
  4. 4
    Add a few shakes of each spice (be careful not to overdo the cumin. I go heavy on the coriander (both forms- ground and seeds).
  5. 5
    Gently mix in 2 eggs with the herbs.
  6. 6
    Add olive oil to the bottom of a large teflon frying pan (I also add some more spices to the oil).
  7. 7
    Put mixture of herbs and eggs (it looks very green and not very eggy at all) into the pan and flatten to an omelette shape. I like to make it very thin so it cooks very well throughout.
  8. 8
    Cook until brown and flip - I usually slide it onto a plate and then add a little more oil to the pan and flip the omelette from the plate to the pan to finish browning the other side.
  9. 9
    When browned slide Kuku onto a plate add some salt if preferred and serve with pita bread. Good with plain yogurt too. Healthy and delish! Enjoy! My friends love when I make this for them.
