Kookoo Sabzi
I've included this recipe in the main course section, but I love cold leftovers for breakfast as well. Like Italian frittata, insanely aromatic from all the herbs and packed with proteins. A specially for Norooz (the Persian New Year) because it is green and thus symbolizes growth and spring, it can also be served all year round.
Traditionally, prepared with eggs, I have a delicious veganised and gluten-free version.
