The easiest eggs and herbs frittata for two recipes
This fritta-brightly is based on the Persian Kuku Sabzi dish.
This brilliant color frittata is based on the Persian Kuku Sabzi dish, which literally means whipped eggs and herbs. Although Kuku Sabzi is traditionally served during the Celebration of the Persian New Year, Nowruz, nothing prevents you from making one for breakfast today.
In Iranian cuisine, a Kuku Sabzi would probably be a very dark green, due to the multiple clusters of chopped herbs super finely chopped (thinking: Cilantro, parsley, dill, chives) and vegetables or other dark leaves mixed in eggs. This recipe uses a little less greens than a traditional Kuku Sabzi, but you are of course welcome to amplify the amounts if you wish. Unlike Italian or American frittatas, this recipe uses eggs as a binder to group herbs and onion rather than making eggs the entertainment star.
When you assemble the mixture, depending on the size of your eggs, you may need a third egg to properly make your Kuku, especially if you decide to use more herbs. Samin Nosrat, the author of the cookbookSalt, fat, acid, heat, recommends searching for a loose porridge texture when mixing together the dough, so in case of doubt, follow this advice.
