Frying Persian mixed herbs and wheat bran

I like herbs and fiber. But it's not until recently that I discovered many of the fibers, spices and herbs I like actually have medical values. For example, wheat bran helps lower blood pressure; bittermelon and fenugreek are effective in lowering blood sugar; ginger is used as a remedy for nausea. The list goes on. In any case, I like herbs and spices. Here is a recipe of mixed herbs and wheat bran that tasted pretty good.


Recipe: Fried Persian mixed herbs and wheat bran with eggs (for 2)


Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup dehydrated Persian vegetable mix (parsley, leek, cilantro, fenugreek, dill)
- 1/4 cup wheat bran
- 1 tablespoon (TB) refried beans
- 2 eggs
- 1 TB turmeric powder
- dash of salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 TB oil


Procedure:
1. Mix dehydrated vegetables and wheat bran in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup water and mix well. Let sit for 15 minutes to re-hydrate. Then squeeze out excess water.
2. Beat 2 eggs with salt, turmeric powder and refried beans. Then mix into the hydrated mixture of vegetables and bran. Stir well.
3. Heat oil in a flat non-stick pan on medium heat. When oil is hot, pour mixture into the pan and spread evenly on pan to cook until the bottom side is crispy. Break into small pieces, flip and stir the pieces to cook all sides. Serve hot.
