Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

⅓ cup fresh barberries
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
½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal®)
1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground saffron
¼ teaspoon ground Damask rose petals
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 large eggs, or more as needed
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, working in batches, 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 to combine; the batter should have the consistency of thick yogurt or soft serve ice cream. If it doesn't, add more eggs, 1 at a time, and mix to combine.
  • Heat 1/3 cup olive oil in a large (10- or 12-inch) nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add batter and spread evenly. Cover with a lid and cook kookoo until oil starts to bubble along the sides, about 3 minutes. Cover and cook until it starts to set and the bottom is browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Cut the kookoo evenly into 4 large pieces and use a wide spatula to flip each piece over, 1 at a time. 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.
