The Egyptian version of mloukhiya is more like a soup. What's the difference between Lebanese and Egyptian mloukhiya? I also love to add lots of the mloukhiya juices on the rice. I always have extra lemon slices and salt at the table ready to squeeze on and a final sprinkle of salt. You can find my Lebanese rice with vermicelli recipe here or my perfect plain rice recipe here. This dish is usually eaten with rice although I have seen people in lebanon eat it with flatbreads too. Overall the process is the same as the chicken one so you can still use this recipe as a guide. You will need to make a meat broth and clean the meat off the bone to add to the stew at the end. Yes you absolutely can, though the chicken version is more popular. If you don't fry it off first for a few minutes you will have to stand around the stock pot and remove the scum so it's actually more work in the end. I flash fry the chicken in a pan over high heat then add it to the stock pot with lots of 'mutayibat' or flavour enhancing spices and vegetables. This dish requires more chicken meat than usual so you can add it to the final dish but otherwise it's the same process.

You can prepare the chicken broth or stock (what's the difference really?) from my recipe here. Once you prepare the leaves it's pretty much a straight forward stew. My mum does this three times to get most of the stickiness out of the leaves. Then, you will need to compress a ball of the leaves in your hands and give it a thoroughly good squeeze. Of course not everyone can source these, so using frozen leaves is the next best thing.Īfter you clean your Mloukhiya leaves, you will need to be blanch them in hot water. Most people can't tell the difference between the frozen or fresh variety but I prefer the fresh leaves. In some countries you can buy frozen mloukhiya online or source them from Middle Eastern stores. A roughly cleaned bag will set you back 25,000 Lebanese Lira (£13) but you will still have to sort through it again just to make sure. Kilos of mloukhiya leaves are sold in Lebanese markets depending on how well they have been sorted.

The actual mloukhiya leaves are usually purchased dried in big bags and you will have to sort through them to take out any odd bits or flowering tips. Mloukhiya travelled through to the Levant area from Africa and is now a standard dish in many Lebanese homes. Molokhoya has a distinct flavour of it's own and the nearest flavour I can liken them too is okra, which is also gelatinous in texture, but even then it's not the same.

The leaves are more robust in texture than spinach and taste way better than kale! In the Middle East they are known as 'molokhiya' and literally translates to 'of the kings' referring to their favoured foods. Mloukhiya is known by several names depending on different parts of the world, including Jew's Marrow or Jute leaves. We have to bring back bags of them in our suitcases from Lebanon, which takes up all our luggage space and makes everything smell but is totally worth it. Also remember that the style of cooking used in this cookbook is effortless.Mloukhiya is one of my top 3 favourite foods of all time - it's spicy, garlicky, coriandery and lemony all at the same time.
