Veganised Persian classic, ideal for picnic
Kookoo Sibzamini is often served during picnics, but you can also use it for lunch or dinner.
One of the most popular Persian snack
It's made mostly from potatoes and eggs, my version is vegan and gluten free.
Kookoo Sibzamini celebrates potatoes, so feels really close to Polish (my childhood) cuisine.
Crispy outside and soft texture inside. Serve it with vegetables or pickles.
Make some extra, as they taste amazing next day !
