  • 60 gCilantro, finely chopped
  • 40 gDill, finely chopped
  • 60 gScallions, finely chopped

Make it

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Wash the herbs and dry them thoroughly before chopping; excess water will loosen the egg mixture.
  2. Beat the eggs with the turmeric, baking powder, salt and pepper. Fold in all the herbs, scallions, walnuts and barberries until evenly coated.
  3. Heat the oil in a 24-cm ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Pour in the mixture and spread level. Cook for 3 minutes until the edges begin to set, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
  4. Bake for 18–22 minutes until the middle is fully set and reaches 71°C/160°F. Rest for 5 minutes before cutting into four wedges.
