Molokhia is a dark and leafy green plant. It is also known as the Jew’s Mallow. It is a very acquired taste as it develops a viscosity like that of an okra when cooked. It is grown and processed all over the Middle East. Although it is mostly used fresh and in frozen form, the dried form is commonly used in countries where this plant doesn’t grow.
Common Uses
The Lebanese version is served as a soup garnished with pita croutons, onion and red wine vinegar. In Egypt it is more toned down by serving as a green soup only – flavoured with a lot of garlic, coriander - scooped up with fresh, soft bread. It is also served on top of rice with roasted chicken or duck. The key in its flavour is the “Taqliya” which is made up of the chopped garlic fried in butter and seasoned with ground coriander.
