Kookoo sabzi is a popular Persian herb and vegetable frittata, made with fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, scallions, and sometimes leeks or chives. It is usually served as a side dish or as a main dish with rice. The herbs and vegetables are finely chopped and mixed with eggs, flour, and spices to make a batter, which is then fried in a pan until set. The result is a flavorful and aromatic dish, high in protein and low in fat, that is enjoyed by many Iranians as a healthy and delicious alternative to meat-based dishes. Kookoo sabzi is often served with flatbread or rice and is sometimes garnished with fresh herbs and sumac powder.
