Kuku Sabzi
Kuku sabzi is a traditional Persian dish that is an 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 served hot or at room temperature. Great light lunch or an appetizer for a casual cocktail party.
