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 the chopped parsley, cilantro, dill, and chives.
2. Beat the egg lightly and add it to the herbs.
3. Gradually add the flour, salt, and black pepper to the herb mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
5. Using a spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter and gently place it into the hot oil, flattening slightly to form fritters.
6. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove fritters and drain on paper towels.
8. Sprinkle dried barberries on top before serving for a tangy burst of flavor.
