Iranian Herb Quiche (Sabzi Kuku)

My father in law once made Sabzi Kuku when he was visiting my husband and I in St. Louis. It is his specialty, and my husband goes gaga over it. This was the first time I tried it. That day he spent hours washing, mincing, and mixing herbs (insane amounts). He then mixed berries and walnuts and eggs into it. I thought to myself, that seems really weird, and it was intensely green! The end result was so unusual and fantastic I learned it myself. Here is how I make it, with a few modifications of Batmanglij's recipe.

5-6 eggs

1 tsp baking powder

dash of cinnamon

dash of cumin

dash of cardamon

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 crushed garlic cloves

1 c finely minced scallions

1 c finely minced parsley

1 c finely minced cilantro

1 c finely minced dill

1 tblsp flour

1 tbslp dried fenugreek

2 tblsp barberries

1/4-1/2 c chopped walnuts

1/2 oil or clarified butter

3 tbslp chopped tarragon

1 romaine leaf

First soak all of the herbs to clean them very well. Finely chop all of the herbs. In a large mixing bowl whisk all of the ingredients together. I think it is good to give it a good whip with an electric mixer to allow some air bubbles--this makes it fluffier. Preheat oven to 350. Grease (generously) a 9 inch cake pan. Pour the mixture into the pan, and cook in oven until cooked all the way through. You can then just plop it out and cut in wedges. Serve with feta cheese or yogurt.
