Brains and eggs are a great combination since they have similar textures. This version of Persian-styled Brain Frittata (or Kuku/Kookoo) feels like an improvement on simpler single-dish servings. I simplified a recipe I found by skipping the poaching and mixing raw brains directly into the raw eggs. Of course, every time I make kuku, it reminds me of a celebratory New Year’s dinner several years back. Brain Kuku has all the love and delight of that meal and will have a repeat performance in our home….
Nowruz
Sumac Brain Fritters (marinated in lime juice) to Celebrate Nowruz
Nowruz Mobarak! Happy Iranian New Year!
Today is the vernal equinox; the first day of the Iranian calendar (year 1398) and the first day of spring here at home.
After a warm introduction, the Iranian New Year has become one of my favorite holidays. The solar calendar resonates with me and I love any opportunity to bring many of my favorite Persian foods and spices to our table.
In anticipation, this week we spiced up our Monday night organ meat dinner with Sumac Brain Fritters!…
