Nargesi
Nargesi is a delightful Persian dish that brings together the vibrant flavors of sautéed spinach, aromatic spices, and creamy eggs. This dish not only highlights the rich culinary heritage of Iran but also showcases the beauty of simple, wholesome ingredients. Traditionally enjoyed as a comforting breakfast or a light meal, Nargesi is often served with warm bread and a dollop of yogurt, making it a perfect dish to share with family and friends.
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped spinach to the pan, stirring well. Cook until the spinach is wilted and tender, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with turmeric, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the spinach mixture in the skillet, ensuring even coverage.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes, then gently stir to combine with the spinach, cooking until the eggs are just set, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, ideally with warm bread and a side of yogurt.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or coriander when sautéing the onions.
- You can substitute the spinach with other leafy greens like Swiss chard or kale for a different twist on this dish.
- Serve Nargesi with a side of pickled vegetables for a traditional Persian touch.
