INGREDIENTS
Herbs
- 1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed
- 1 bunch fresh parsley, tough stems trimmed
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, tough stems trimmed
- 1 bunch fresh dill, tough stems trimmed
- 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
Spices and Flavorings
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground saffron (Optional)
- ¼ teaspoon ground Damask rose petals
- ⚫ ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 🧂 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal®)
- 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
Dairy and Protein
- 🥚 6 large eggs, or more as needed
Additional Ingredients
- ⅓ cup fresh barberries
- 🌰 ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 🧄 1 clove garlic, chopped
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
STEPS
Soak barberries in water to cover for 10 minutes. Drain.
Pulse Swiss chard, parsley, cilantro, and dill together in a food processor until finely chopped but not mushy. Place into a large bowl with barberries, walnuts, garlic, salt, fenugreek, tarragon, turmeric, cinnamon, saffron, rose petals, and black pepper. Stir to combine. Add 6 eggs and mix well; the batter should have the consistency of thick yogurt. Add more eggs, 1 at a time, if necessary.
Heat 1/3 cup olive oil in a 10- or 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add batter and spread evenly. Cover with a lid and cook until oil starts to bubble along the sides, about 3 minutes. Cover and cook until the bottom is browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
Cut the kookoo evenly into 4 large pieces, flipping them over one at a time using a spatula. Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil in between the cuts, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook uncovered until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Cut into desired pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.
