Easy Egyptian Molokheya

What you’ll need:

  • 1 kg of fresh SOF green Molokheya 
  • 6 cloves SOF garlic, finely crushed 
  • 2 tablespoons corn oil
  • 2 tablespoon dried coriander 
  • 1 tablespoon butter 
  • 4 cups vegetable/chicken broth 
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1-2 SOF lime

What you’ll do:

  1. Wash the Molokheya leaves and leave them to dry properly then chop the leaves using a Molokheya blade 
  2. Heat a cooking pot then add the chicken broth and salt to heat up. 
  3. Add chopped leaves to the broth and stir till they are properly mixed – when the mixture starts to boil add the butter to a separate pan then add the garlic and the coriander then mix quickly till you get a golden mixture.
  4. The Molokheya soup should not be too watery or too thick – adjust time and broth quantity accordingly.
  5. Add the garlic mixture (Tasha in Arabic) to the Molokheya broth, stir quickly and turn off the heat.
  6. Serve with a dash of lime alongside white rice or balady bread.
