A Perfect Persian Lunch: Kukuye Sabsi

An Old Favourite from Monday Morning Cooking Club

If you’re looking for a simple lunch for friends, here it is. This recipe comes from the kitchen of Judy Wilkenfeld and appears in Monday Morning Cooking Club – the food, the stories, the sisterhood.

Kukuye sabsi is a Persian-style omelette, similar to a frittata, and is often served on New Year’s Day in Iran. The secret of the texture is to chop the parsley coarsely, not finely.

A delicious, light lunch.
