Mom's Molokhiya

Make the Taqliya

1. With a pestle, grind the garlic until it forms a paste. Set aside half of it for later.

2. Add the coriander to the half of the paste of garlic and grind together.

3. In a pan, combine the butter and ground coriander/garlic paste on high heat.

4. Once the butter starts melting into the mixture, stir until the colour turns golden.

Prepare the Sides

• Make some rice and set aside.

• Ground onions in vinegar. A few spoonfuls into your final dish should do.

• Roasted chicken, pulled.

• Crispy arabic pita bread. You can throw it in the oven until it turns golden brown.

Prepare the Molokhia

1. Heat the chicken stock in a pot until it simmers lightly.

2. Add the garlic (set aside earlier) and the frozen molokhia.

3. Once the molokhia has reached a near-boiling temperature, add the taqliya mixture and the salt and stir to ensure it is evenly distributed.

4. Remove from heat.

Serving

You can serve the molokhiya on a bed of rice, with a few spoonfuls of the vinegar/onion mixture. Add some chicken and pita bread on top as desired.

Enjoy!
