Andy Makes Kuku Sabzi (Persian Frittata) | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

Kuku sabzi (Persian frittata) tend to have less eggs than the typical fritter or omelet. They can be slightly sweet with dates and dried rose, or savory, like the one below. Try not to be diverted from all the greens that are suggested for this recipe. You really can use whatever hearty greens and herbs you like. It’s the ideal clean-out-the-fridge recipe.

Andy Makes Kuku Sabzi (Persian Frittata) | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

[@suasoria]

You can add some finely chopped toasted walnuts and a handful of dried barberries to the mix before frying it, to make it the way it's done in northern parts of Iran.

[@TinaTr84]

Yaaassss I knew I'd find a fellow Rashti (?)!!!

[@SingingSealRiana]

barberries are the greatest blessing I was bestowed when starting to look into iranian/persian cuisin, I love them so much ^^

[@unbroken1010]

Great 🤣

[@mattdabrat424]

Wow, so many things in this video I'd like to eat.

[@rieeechard]

Lay off my man

[@dadafan5921]

You be standin' in line...

[@madisoncaudullo9836]

I'm glad to see Andy make a dish from a cuisine that's very clearly close to his heart. More like this please?

[@MrArianmas]

More Persian cuisine

[@BubblewrapHighway]

Need mo Farsi FOR sho.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Great❗️👏👍🙌😷

[@RoyNatian]

I followed this recipe at home and it's fantastic! I've made it multiple times already. Reminds me of the way my grandma used to make it.

[@alexandraesfahani301]

That recipe made me so happy while being homesick. More Andy and more Percian recipes please!

[@Fudgeey]

As someone who can't get enough herbs, this dish might be my calling

[@TheNinnyfee]

One of my favourite dishes ever, thank you, that's so precious.

[@zsuzsacsernak6489]

An instant classic!! I just made this dish. So good. Gonna be a regular on my menu! Thank Andy

[@hannahcohen2015]

Thank you my love. You made my day with this phenomenal Irani dish. I am in love with iranian dishes and their great people and culture

[@steflondon88]

I had it once in a Persian restaurant and they put nuts. I liked that added.

[@kin7069]

I bought too many herbs and vegetables to juice. Tried to find out what I could do with the excessive veggies and found this video.. definately good for "clearing out the refrigerator" not only that is was delicious and I felt honored to be making such a traditional special dishes. First Persian meal and LOVED it. It was soo good. However, I'm vegan so instead of eggs I uses chia seeds and instead of baking power I used apple cider vinegar & baking soda. And put about 3 tsp's of oil in the herb mix until I realized it should have been in the pan, oops.. but it still turned out so goo, so flavorful! I couldn't believe it. Keep these traditional veg dishes coming! Thanks!

[@frhythms]

Oh my, this is the recipe I have been looking for ! All those fresh herbs, oh yes !!!!

[@behzadshambayati6912]

great , simple quick and straight forward , I like to see Andy's other recipes

[@pawoo666]

I will makes for sure. No doubt about it! 100 %!! Persian culture looks amazing!

[@suekchong1]

This is the first BA video which got me to subscribe and still my favoirite. It's not too long and just simply about cooking and little bit of story about the dish.

[@malcontentbb]

I completely love this dish, found a recipe online just randomly one day and I kinda went rogue on it with mint and swiss chard and parsley (recipe didn’t mention the leeks which I’m so putting in the next time) + it had cinnamon in as well and I added chopped walnuts. It is also baked in so much olive oil it gets very crispy at the edges. So so sooo wonderful!!!

[@user-ux2py9td8w]

Iranian cuisine is the best. Thanks. ❤️ Love from Israel

I miss Iranian food soooo much! I only get it once a year when I visit my Mom, Brothers and Sisters in Calgary. We grew up in Iran. Where I live now, there are no Iranian Restaurants. I love Kuku Sabzi! We call it Sabzi Kuku.....sigh I want some right NOW!

[@vister6757]

I tried this once in a party hosted by an Iranian family. It was very savory & soft & I love it because it's different and healthy! That was the first time I had that and never again because it's hard to find Iranian food in my country

[@shl9275]

It's a wonderful food for a keto diet. Thank you so much for your video.

[@micahwoodard]

Looks interesting, I’d be willing to try it. Always need to eat your greens! Like always, nicely done Andy!

[@sararezvani1872]

Perfect. I made it and it’s wonderful. Andy you’re the best 👏🏻🙏🏻

[@TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

This is comfort food for me. My mom would make this all the time as a kid.

[@busy.moms.kitchen]

I love this dish my mom used to make it for me all the time

[@MrFree-vj8qj]

this is so healthy and easy to make. you dont necessarily need toi broil it or cook the herbs seperately. I'd recommend cooking the herbs with the the eggs together to preserve the herb vitamins more.

[@jameskellum4]

I found the easiest way to chop all those herbs is either use my weed grinder or simply toss it all in my lawn mower

[@davidb.854]

No no, darling. You're supposed to pull it OUT of your lawn mower not put it in. An easy mistake to make. 😂

[@rumblefish9]

[@casra6242]

as an iranian i’m so proud of you ANDY ,but as a food lover you need to flip over the Kuku for crunchy sides and soft inside

[@itsmefshd]

so yummy😍😍😋👌

[@Mala_pua_9b]

This Chinese Hawaiian, Native American girl had never made a Persian dish in her life. This spoke to me and was so delicious. Halved the recipe incase it was not to my taste. Big mistake. Could eat all damn day. Happy Farsi New Year.

[@maryammzh3981]

As a Persians, we used to use less herb or more egg plus walnut and feta cheese. Also fried in butter and make it crispy. It was really good

[@Celebrity_Here]

Amazing recipe 😋 👌

[@Antaios632]

It took me several seconds to parse the phrase "Celery leaves work as a sub." 🤣

[@shayan4197]

Merciiiii

[@Mr.Ditkovich.]

I used to eat this when I was a kid, but I prefer the normal kookoo with only eggs and potatoes. I still eat it to this day.

[@mounthaguro3613]

Super !!!

[@persianculinarytours]

Delicious 😋😋😋

[@zibahayatshahi1559]

Exelent 👏👏👏

[@Dr_No]

I add spinach, cinnamon, freshly ground nutmeg, ground cardamom, turmeri, ground cumin and chopped bits of walnuts to mine. Wonderful as is hot, cold for a picnic food or drizzled with some grape molasses and topped with some dried barberries or cranberries.

[@rey199873]

I ove how you guys use beautiful Japanese knife

[@BeckaBoo713]

Please make more Persian dishes!!!!

[@frankathebutterfly6343]

andy , there’s no onion in the veg mixture (at least I’ve never seen) besides where’re the walnuts and the barberries ? btw thanks for introducing our cuisine to the world❤️❤️ aaaaand happy new year

[@toodle171]

Comfort food my man!

[@mariag4696]

OMG you read my mind! Just as I was thinking "I can just use a food processor!" you chimed in NO you cannot!

[@Icecodes]

Different but I like it

[@behshadsamimi3180]

Never seen amyone mix onions in kuku sabzi,and i like it both side cooked

[@rene9095]

My dad makes this all the time

[@mirage_sr]

I remember my mom would cook it on both sides.

[@aryanazmolki3290]

Det är bra att du säger att det är persisk koko. En del lagar våra recept och säger att det är något recept som jag har hittat på. Vi kallar de recept tjuvar.

[@nickj.a.6054]

very very true about the food processor. I also always avoid it,when cooking, since it leaves a mess (reminding of the disgusting thing they feed to very very old people who have no teeth left) instead of neatly cut vegetables and herbs. besides when the dish is ready, it's "al dente", your palate feels the essense of the food. That's why handmade stuff is always better :)

[@adib6318]

I'm full Persian, live in Scotland and I personally don't really like kuku sabzi, but this version looks different from the authentic one. I think they also use spinach in Kuku sabzi

[@parsa1372]

In Iran some also like to add zereshk (barberry) for cool sour fruit taste to bring the herbs together

[@yesmeenashmaitelly4806]

My mom makes it with just parsley. It’s pretty good on it’s own.

[@Dr.TobiasFunke]

My family doesn't use spinach either.

[@samirasalim1806]

No but they use sereshk and gerdoo.

[@duallove6909]

You also have to brown both sides Andy. I’m cringing that you but the only browned side on the cutting board to get soggy. Kuku needs to have a little crisp.

add a whole head of iceberg lettuce, chopped, to the mix. makes the whole thing fluffier and more voluminous.

@@lisahinton9682 is is not mistakes in taste, Lisa dear. Icebergs make the outcome so much lighter in flavor. All you need is to add more toasted breadcrumbs and one more egg. Try it for a change
