Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup of Flat Leaf Parsley De-stemmed *You can leave the stems on too if you're feeling lazy or you don't mind them* , chopped
  • 1 Cup of Fresh Cilantro chopped
  • 1 Cup of Chopped Scallions chopped
  • 2 Cup Fresh Dill chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. Iranian Herb Mix You can buy this dried at an Iranian Grocery Store
  • *I use this more as a seasoning than a part of the leafy green base this will give it that distinctive Iranian flavor, but it's not required*
  • 1 Tsp. of Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp. of Pepper
  • 5 Eggs Beaten
  • 1/8 Cup of Flour *If you want it to be thicker add more flour*
  • 4 Tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 4 Leaves of Romaine Lettuce

Method
 

  1. Throw all of your leafy greens & vegetables in a food processor, pulse it till they are fully processed. You don't want any big chunks. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl, add the beaten eggs and flour. Mix it together until you have something that resembles a green cake batter. Stir in one tablespoon of cooking oil.
  2. Grease a pyrex dish with the rest of your oil and pour the mixture into the dish. Then put the dish into a pre-heated 350F oven for 30 minutes (use a toothpick to check and see if it's done. Pull it out once the top is nice and crispy (but not burned).
  3. Serve with some yogurt (Maast in Farsi) or Ricotta and enjoy!
