Ingredients
- 8 oz spinach chopped or baby spinach leaves, fresh
- 1 yellow onion diced, medium
- 5 tbsp vegetable oil divided
- 1 1/2 cups cilantro chopped (2 bunches typically, stems removed)
- 1 1/2 cups parsley chopped (2 bunches typically, stems removed)
- 1/2 cup dill chopped (1 bunch typically, stems removed)
- 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
- 2 tbsp raisins (golden sultanas preferred)
- 1 tbsp fenugreek leaves
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 6 egg large
Instructions
- In an oven proof skillet over medium heat add 2 tablespoons of the oil. After a minute add the onion and cook for 8 minutes until translucent. Top with spinach and turn to cook for 2 minutes. Remove cooked onion and spinach from pan and set aside to cool. Discard any water left in the skillet.
- Meanwhile chop herbs using sharp knife (do not use food processor, it releases too much water) and set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk the eggs and add the herbs, walnuts, raisins, fenugreek, pepper, salt, turmeric and baking powder. Fold in the cooled onion and spinach (Note 1).
- Wipe out the skillet and add remaining 3 tablespoon of the oil over medium high heat. When oil shimmers slightly, carefully add the herb egg mixture, and using a rubber spatula, pat down for an even top.
- Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, until just about set. Center will still be a little jiggly. Carefully run rubber spatula around rim to loosen. Place under broiler for 1-2 minutes to set and be ever so slightly light brown.
- Serve warm or cold as is or with lavash bread, yogurt or cheese.
Notes
- This mixture will be very thick, unlike a loose frittata or omelet mixture.
