You’ll go cuckoo for this striking one-pan dish inspired by a traditional Persian frittata called kuku sabzi. It comes out of the oven glowing a deep shade of green, ready to take a central spot on the table or to shine as a side with fish and rice. We went light on the eggs—just enough to hold it all together—and heavy on the plants: a motherlode of parsley, cilantro, dill, spinach and lettuce, along with walnuts and dried cranberries (or barberries, for a more authentic accent).

This Iranian herb dish is similar to a frittata, and combines beaten eggs with lots of fresh herbs. This dish is as happy at the breakfast table as it is as part of a main meal.
