one of the traditional food is kookoo

KooKoo is a persian food. Iranians make many different types of kookoos with a variety of flavorings. It is a frequently vegetarian dish, made with eggs which then are folded in with various ingredients. it cooks for a shorter amount of time, over a low heat, before turned over or grilled briefly to set the top layer. For the typical kuku-ye sabzi recipe, the eggs and herbs are mixed and seasoned with salt, black pepper,sometime barberries, sometimes baking powder and turmeric.

the mixture is then poured into a preheated oiled pan, covered and cooked over low heat until set, Some cooks saute the herbs briefly before adding the eggs. The amount of herb ingredients usually greatly exceeds the amount of eggs, which merely serve to hold the kookoo together, making the predominant flavor that of the herbs rather than that of a typical "egg omelette. and barberries are a favorite garnish for on top. It is often sliced and served hot or cold with bread or rice, Kuku can be a main dish or an appetizer. we use kookoo as traditional meal consumed for nuroz.
