Ingredients
  

Fresh Herbs and Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro Chopped finely.
  • 1 cup fresh parsley Chopped finely.
  • ½ cup raisins Adds sweetness.
  • 3 large eggs Serves as the base of the frittata.
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder Makes the frittata fluffy.
Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For richer texture.
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt Adjust to taste.
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper Adjust to taste.
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric For color and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and chop the cilantro and parsley finely.
  3. In a large bowl, combine chopped herbs with the raisins, olive oil, salt, pepper, turmeric, eggs, and baking powder.
  4. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
Cooking
  1. Transfer the mixture into a cast iron skillet or any oven-safe skillet, spreading it evenly.
  2. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow the frittata to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding dill, green onions, or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Letting herbs sit in olive oil enhances their flavors. Store in an airtight container; it lasts up to 3 days in the fridge or can be frozen for a month.
