KUKU (egg omelette)



                                                        the eggs and herbs are mixed It is frequently a vegetarian dish, made with whipped eggs which then are folded in with various ingredients. It is similar to the Italian dish frittata or an  open faced omelette .                 






 Ingredients


200 g Spinach
50 g Parsley 
50 g Dill 








30 g Coriander
50 g Spring Onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of Garlic, crushed
8 Eggs
2 tbsp Plain Flour
1 tsp Turmeric
Salt & Pepper
Oil for frying

Method
1) Wash the Spinach and Herbs and dry them well in some kitchen paper, in a salad spinner. This stops the Omelet going spongy. Then chop all the Vegetables as finely as you can. To make it easier simply whack them in a food processor and blitz for a few seconds until they are finely chopped.
2) Crack the Eggs into a large bowl and lightly beat them. Add the Turmeric, Flour and season well with Salt and Pepper.
3) Add the chopped Spinach and Herbs to the Eggs and give everything a good stir.
4) Put a medium size frying pan on the hob and let it heat up for a minute before adding approximately a good quantity of Oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the Spring Onions and Garlic to the pan and gently fry over a low flame for a two minutes until they have softened.
5) Pour in the Hereby Egg mixture. Cook over a low heat for about 5-10 mins, until the Omelet is firm almost all the way through and then finish . 

NOTE: Cut the kuku (Omelet) into Eight pieces and carefully flip each piece.  

Serve it hot
