Persian cuisine has a variety of interesting omelettes, and this is one of my favourites. Walnuts add richeness and flavour. Ingredients:
500 g leeks, thoroughly washed, halved and sliced |
150 g walnuts, chopped not too finely |
4 large eggs |
1 teaspoon salt |
black pepper |
1 -2 teaspoon turmeric |
oil |
Directions:
1. Heat some oil and cook the leek on middle heat for 10 minutes; set aside and let it cool.
2. Add the walnuts, eggs and spices, mix well,
3. heat some more oil in a pan and add the egg mixture.
4. Close the lid and fry for 5 minutes on middle heat.
5. Turn the omelet and fry for another 5 minutes.
6. Serve with bread and maybe a salad.
7. It is also good when cold.
