Method

Tap a step when it's done.

1. 1Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Put 3 tbsp oil in a 22-24 cm baking dish or cast-iron pan and let it heat in the oven.
2. 2Wash the herbs and scallions and dry them completely in a salad spinner or with towels. Discard the thick stems and chop very finely; you should have about 4 cups.
3. 3Soak the barberries in cold water for 5 minutes, drain, then toss them in the remaining 1 tbsp oil for about 1 minute until plump and glossy; watch closely, as they burn easily.
4. 4In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the flour, baking powder, turmeric, salt and pepper until smooth.
5. 5Stir in the herbs, walnuts and barberries. The mixture should look like a pile of herbs bound with egg rather than an egg batter with herbs.
6. 6Pour into the hot dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the center is set, the edges are browned and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. 7Rest for 10 minutes, then slice. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold, with yogurt, flatbread and pickles.
