Decide to make kuku sabzi for dinner.

Gather ingredients: parsley, spinach leaves, green onions, dill weed, cilantro, chives, eggs, chili flakes, black pepper, barberries, salt, turmeric, walnuts, and garlic (optional).

Wash and clean the herbs.

Chop all herbs finely, using 4 ounces of each type: parsley, spinach, green onions, dill weed, cilantro, and chives.

Grate garlic into the mixture (optional).

In a bowl, mix chopped herbs with 5 eggs, 0.5 teaspoon turmeric, 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, 0.5 pinch chili flakes, 4 ounces walnuts, and 2 ounces barberries.

Heat 2 ounces of olive oil in a frying pan.

Pour the herb and egg mixture into the frying pan and level it out evenly.

Cover the pan with a lid and lower the temperature to cook for a few minutes.

After about 10 minutes, check the kuku sabzi and flip it over to cook the other side for another 5 minutes.

Squeeze lemon juice over the kuku sabzi before serving.
