Koofteh Sabzi (Persian Herb Fritters)

A fragrant herb-packed fritter made with parsley, cilantro, dill, and chives mixed with eggs and flour, pan-fried to golden perfection and topped with a sprinkle of dried barberries for a burst of zing.

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, dill, and chives. 2. Add the egg, flour, salt, and pepper to the herbs and mix well until a thick batter forms. 3. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. 4. Scoop spoonfuls of the herb mixture into the pan, flattening them gently with the back of the spoon to form small fritters. 5. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. 6. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. 7. Sprinkle dried barberries on top of the warm fritters before serving to add a tangy burst of flavor.
