I found this recipe in Vegetarian Main Dishes from Around the World (from the Chunky Cook Book series). I really liked it because of its unusual ingredients (for me) and unique flavor. I didn't chop any of the vegetables finely and it turned out tasty. So there you go. You are free to chop chunky - or finely. Whatever.
Kukuye Sabzi (vegetable and walnut bake) from Iran
Heat over to 325degrees F/Gas 3/ 160 degrees C
2 cups leeks, chopped finely (uh hum)
1 cup lettuce, chopped finely (mmmm)
1 tbsp. fresh parsley, just chopped
1 cup spinach, chopped finely ( again?)
3 scallions, chopped finely (sigh)
1 tbsp. flour
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (Aw right! I did it with a hammer.)
8 eggs
4 tbsp. margarine
salt and pepper (love the pepper- spicy- yum, yum)
1. Put all the vegetables in a large bowl, shake on the flour and seasoning. Mix well, and then add the walnuts.
2.Next, beat the eggs and pour them onto the vegetable mixture. Stir so that the egg coats the other ingredients to bind them. (I love that sentence.)
3. Using a loaf tin, melt the margarine gently over a low heat and swirl it around the pan to coat the sides. Then transfer the vegetable mixture to the tin and cook in the oven for about an hour or until the top is crisp and brown. Turn out into a dish and serve with rice and yoghurt.

Unititled #1
The funny thing is, I like to write. Why can't I write for my blog?
I feel pressure.
The pressure to be funny.
The pressure to be smart.
The pressure to be ironic, witty, unique.
O.K.I'll write something real.
Come into my garden. It is beautiful. It is contrived. It is natural. I am balancing. Relax into it. The smell. The color. The sound. Exist in the moment. It is scrumptious.
