Mixed Greens Frittata

This recipe is loosely based on kookoo sabzi (“kookoo” implies the use of an egg and “sabzi” means mixed greens), which is the most popular of all the Persian kookoos. An abundant and almost frivolous mix of herbs and vegetables, it’s served during Nowruz, the Persian New Year festivities, and symbolizes new beginnings. Both the barberries and walnuts are optional, and are usually reserved for special occasions.
