Herb And Spinach Steamed Omlette Recipe


Herb And Spinach Steamed Omlette Recipe
Based on the Iranian kuku sabzi, this is quite dense with greens and took care of some serious veg cravings. Make sure to eliminate any large stalks from the herbs and spinach or to chop them very finely.

  3. -salt well and cook for 3-4 minutes stirring often until the greens have wilted appreciably (should be about 1/4 of their original volume)

  5. -while the greens are cooling butter a loaf pan or pie plate large enough to hold the egg&greens.
