While surfing net for vegetarian Iranian recipes to go to AWED – Persia, i came across this simple but delicious dish made from spinach, eggs & onions.! What i loved about the dish was it did not boast of any exotic ingredient but at the same time the non-fussy cooking made it a hit. It resembled a spinach omlette sans any whisking and other spices !
Although meat plays an important role in most Persian dishes, it is possible to find excellent Persian vegetarian cooking. I saw the recipe Here
Some green chillis and little garlic could have zipped up the taste even more (which i plan to do next time)
What goes:-
- Fresh spinach – a bunch (I used Indian Spinach/Pasalai keerai)
- Eggs – 2
- Onions – 2 (thinly sliced)
- Butter /cooking oil – 1 tbsp
- Salt & black pepper – to taste
Directions:
Wash spinach well and cut into small pieces. Slightly cook with half a cup of water and a bit of salt over medium heat for a few minutes. Drain water- squeeze it completely and set aside.
Fry onions in oil in a non-stick pan until golden. Add spinach and fry for a few more minutes.
Flatten the surface using the back of a spoon and break the eggs on top, taking care not to break the yolk. Add salt and pepper and cover the pan until eggs are cooked; let the yolk should remain soft.
Serve it with Bread or Rice. I had already made pasta for lunch – this side dish went well with it !
