Goyerti Kuku (Kuku with herbs) (Azerbaijani)


A lovely thick omelet stuffed full of herbs. After it's done, you slice it into quarters and serve it with a dollop of strained yogurt, enriched with garlic. The combo is delicious and addictive.
This kuku (the Azerbaijani name for omelet) is perfect for a quick, light and yet hearty meal.

Ingredients (serves 2):

  • 2 bunches fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 bunch mint, finely chopped
  • 1 scallion, chopped
  • 2 oz. fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1 young garlic (green part), finely chopped
  • 5 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (clarified butter or olive oil)


For the yogurt sauce:

  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed


In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and beat well. Add salt and pepper.

In a small-medium nonstick pan (8 inch or 20 cm), melt the butter or oil over medium heat. Pour the egg herb mixture and cook on medium-low heat for about 8 minutes.

Using a knife or thick-edge spatula, gently cut the kuku into 4 wedges. Carefully turn each piece to brown the other side. If necessary, add a little butter or oil in the pan.

Mix the yogurt and garlic and serve the kuku accompanied by the sauce. 

It's done, dig in! :)
