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.
