Cucú

Kuku is the universal term for a broad group of Iranian dishes that resemble a thick omelet. Typically pan-fried, these dishes are predominately vegetarian, although some varieties occasionally employ meat. Some of the most famous varieties are kuku sabzi, which consists of eggs and various chopped herbs, and the potato-based kuku sib-zamini. Versatile kuku dishes are a staple in Iranian cuisine - they are often served on special occasions, but are also commonly prepared as simple everyday meals. Easily adapted to taste and preference, they can be eaten hot or cold, as a filling appetizer, quick snack, or a light main course.
