FRESH HERB KUKU
Kuku is a traditional Persian egg dish similar to a frittata. This version by the Iranian food writer Najmieh Batmanglij was served at the White House at Michelle Obama's Nowruz celebration on April 6. In it, a variety of fresh green herbs are mixed with fragrant spices, chopped walnuts and just enough eggs to bind everything together. Dried barberries, caramelized with grape molasses or sugar, make a pretty and sweet-tart garnish. If you can't get barberries, substitute dried cranberries. Kuku can be served warm or at room temperature, and can be made a day in advance. Leftovers make excellent sandwiches when stuffed into lavash or pita with yogurt.

Steps:
- Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until lightly golden all over, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer onions to a medium bowl and cool to room temperature; reserve skillet.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a 9-x-12-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, lightly whisk to combine eggs, salt, pepper, baking powder, all of the spices and the rose petal, if using. Add caramelized onions, all of the herbs, walnuts, lettuce, spring onion, garlic and rice flour. Fold just to combine; do not overmix.
- Brush prepared baking dish with 1/4 cup oil. (It may look like a lot, but it gets absorbed into the batter.) Add batter, smoothing out the top and pushing it to the sides. Bake until center is set, about 20 minutes, and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Meanwhile, place the skillet used to cook the onion over medium heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the barberries, grape molasses or sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Simmer, stirring, until liquid is reduced and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
- Top cooked kuku with caramelized barberries and cut into 6 equal pieces. Serve hot or room temperature, with lavash and yogurt, if desired.

KUKU SABZI
Kuku sabzi is a traditional Persian dish that is a herb-heavy frittata. The egg is really just a binder to hold all of the herbs together, it is not the main component of this dish. Serve with flatbread, yogurt, pickled onions, feta, and pomegranate seeds. It is wonderful hot, or at room temp. Great light lunch or an appetizer for a casual cocktail.

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 (PERSIAN HERB FRITTATA)
Kuku, which is like a Persian frittata, comes in many forms, but this one, packed to the brim with herbs, is my favorite. Washing and picking through the piles of herbs can be overwhelming if you're not used to staring down a mountain of produce, so feel free to prepare them in advance. I particularly love kuku sabzi for the contrast between its vivid-green herbaceous interior and its dark, sweet crust. Kuku is traditionally served with flatbread and a selection of crunchy and acidic condiments to balance the sweetness of the herbs; my favorites are fresh radishes, the chopped eggplant pickles called liteh and chunks of soft, salty feta cheese. Leftover kuku slathered with mast-o khiar makes for a wonderful sandwich.

Steps:
- Trim woody ends from cilantro, parsley and dill so that only leaves and tender stems remain. Wash herbs and romaine leaves, then use a salad spinner to dry very well. Set aside.
- Finely dice both the green and white parts of the leeks. Wash well and drain.
- Set a 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add 3 tablespoons oil. When the oil shimmers, add leeks. Season with a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened but not browned, about 20 minutes, reducing the heat if necessary.
- In the meantime, very finely chop the cilantro, parsley, dill and romaine by hand - the smaller the pieces, the more deeply green your kuku will be. To chop such a large volume of herbs, take a large handful or two at a time and roll into a tight ball. Run a large, sharp knife through the ball to initially chop the herbs roughly, then continue to rock the knife back and forth through the pile of herbs until very finely chopped. Repeat with remaining herbs until finished. Combine the chopped herbs and romaine with the dried fenugreek and dried dill in a very large bowl.
- When leeks are cooked, add herb mixture and another generous pinch of salt to the pan and cook, stirring often, until it dries out and the color changes to a very dark green, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture back into the very large bowl; spread it out, then allow it to cool to room temperature.
- When the herb mixture has cooled, add barberries, turmeric, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Taste the mixture: It should be a little on the salty side. If it's not, add a little more salt. One at a time, add eggs to the herb mixture, stirring well after each addition. Use as few eggs as needed to barely bind the mixture; this will ensure a brilliant-green kuku. The mixture should be the consistency of a loose porridge.
- Wipe out the pan and melt the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter melts, add remaining 1/4 cup oil. Add a tiny spoonful of the kuku mixture to the pan. When it sizzles, add the rest of the mixture and use a rubber spatula to spread it out evenly. The oil should bubble up the sides of the kuku. Run the spatula around the edge and jiggle the pan from time to time to check that the mixture isn't sticking. Cook, rotating pan a quarter turn every 3 to 4 minutes, until the kuku is set, the bottom is a very dark brown, and the edges are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Don't be afraid of getting your crust really dark - it will appear almost burned, but it will taste heavenly sweet.
- Use a rubber spatula to ensure that the kuku is not stuck to the pan, then carefully tip as much of the oil as possible into a medium bowl and set aside. Cover the pan with a large, flat platter or pizza pan and flip the kuku onto it and set aside. Return the oil to the pan and carefully slide the flipped kuku back into the pan to cook the second side. Cook over medium-high until the second side is dark brown and the kuku is cooked through, about 5 more minutes.
- While the kuku finishes cooking, wipe off the platter and line with a double layer of paper towels. Flip the finished kuku onto the prepared platter and use another paper towel to dab excess oil from the surface. To serve, flip once more onto a serving platter and peel away paper towels.
- Serve warm, cold or at room temperature, with your choice of radishes, pickles, feta, warmed flatbread and mast-o khiar.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a brownie or square baking tin (about 20 x 20cm) with baking parchment. Set side. Drizzle enough oil into a large frying pan or saucepan (because a saucepan is high-sided, it's often easier to contain the herbs) set over a low-medium heat to coat the base. Tip in all the herbs and spring onions and cook for 10-15 mins until tender but not browned - when ready, the herbs will be dark green, like cooked spinach. Remove from the heat, season well with salt and pepper and stir in the barberries, if using. Leave to cool.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl and gently whisk along with the yogurt, baking powder and turmeric until the yogurt has dissolved into the mixture. Be careful not to overbeat the eggs, as this will make the batter stiff. Stir in the cooled herb mixture until the egg mixture turns completely green. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface using a fork. Bake for 35-40 mins, or until a cutlery knife inserted into the middle comes out clean - there should be no remaining raw egg mixture. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into small squares or triangles.

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.

- For a formal Kuku Sabzi, wash the herbs, strain them, and chop them finely later. Then, place a pan on the stove, and pour some oil in it. When the oil is almost hot, add the chopped herbs and stir them. How much you want to stir-fry the herbs, completely depends on you. You can stir until their water is evaporated for example. The more you fry the herbs, the darker the color of your Kuku will be. When you were done, add the herbs to another dish and let them cool.
- For the next step, choose a suitable bowl and beat the eggs with salt, black pepper, and turmeric. Add the barberries and walnut slices as well. Originally, Kuku Sabzi does not have barberries or walnut, but adding them makes your dish more delicious and formal.
- When the herbs are cool, add them to the eggs as well and mix until they are consistent. Pour some oil in a frying pan and wait until it is hot. Then, pour the Kuku mix in the pan and spread it with a spoon so that the Kuku is spread all over the pan with equal thickness.
- When the Kuku is fried, divide it into for pieces and flip each piece and let the other side fry as well. Serve your delicious herb frittatas with bread, tomato and pickle slices.

- Note - volume/weight of herbs is the chopped leaves, with the stems the weight is at least double so bear that in mind when buying herbs. The chopping also takes a bit of time, reflected in the prep time. While you are chopping the herbs, soak the barberries in water, if using.
- Once all the herbs are chopped, whisk together the eggs, baking powder, salt and pepper until well mixed. Stir in the chopped herbs and drained barberries.
- Warm the oil in an 8in/20cm skillet/frying pan. It should be warm, but you want the heat to be low. Pour the egg-herb mixture and flatten the top. Cover the pan and cook for a few minutes until you can see it has cooked at the sides and is set most of the way through. Loosen from the pan and cover the pan with a plate. Invert the pan so the frittata goes onto the plate then slide it off the plate, with what was the top now on the bottom. Cook another couple minutes until cooked through. Remove from the heat, cut and serve.

- Trace the bottom of an 8-inch square pan or 9-inch round cake pan on kitchen parchment, then cut inside the lines to create a piece to fit in the bottom of the pan.
- Coat the bottom and sides of the pan with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, turning the parchment to coat on both sides (the oil should pool at the bottom and generously coat the sides).
- In a food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, dill, scallions and the remaining 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Process until finely ground (now, I like my herbs less fine, so I stopped the processor at my desired texture). Set aside for now.
