Molokheya is another famous national Egyptian dish and also popular in other Arabic countries......

It can be cooked with Chicken, Rabbits and in Alexandria molokhia is cooked with shrimp..


Ingredients :

* 2 kg fresh Mulukhiya
* 2 chickens, 1 kg each
* bay leaf
* 4-5 cardamom grains
* 1 onion, cut in half
* 15-20 garlic cloves, crushed
* 1 tablespoon coriander powder
* cooking oil
* salt & pepper.

Procedure :

* The most popular way in Egypt to cook Molokheya is to chop it using the chopper - Makhratta- until the leaves are fully chopped.

* Boil water with onion, salt, bayleaf, and cardamoms tied in muslin bag.

* Then, add chicken and cook until tender.

* Remove chicken, cut into neat joints, and fry.

* Discard muslin bag and mash onion.
* Boil soup, add Mulukhiya, and simmer for 3-5 minutes.

Do not over cook, as Mulukhiya has to suspended; overcooking makes leaves fall to the bottom of the pot.

* Mix crushed garlic with salt and coriander.

* Sauté (fry) this mixture for 3-5 minutes (known as ta'liya) until golden.

* Then, toss into the boiling Mulukhiya.

* Simmer for 2 minutes.

* Add lemon juice (optional).

* If using frozen Mulukhiya, slide the Mulukhiya into the boiling pot, stir until completely thawed, then proceed as with the fresh.

Ta'lya Mulukhiya :

Another way to cook Mulukhiya is to boil the ta'liya with the soup for 3-5 minutes before adding the Mulukhiya. This makes the ta'liya taste stronger.

Ta'liya :

This mixture is added to almost all stewed vegetables, cooked with or without meat. Ta'liya means frying, but it specifically calls for fried garlic with ground coriander - no other spice.

Ingredients:

*20 garlic cloves, crushed.
*1 teaspoon ground coriander.
*1 teaspoon cooking oil, salt, and pepper.
*Procedure
*Mix crushed garlic with salt, pepper, and coriander until smooth.
*Sauté (fry) this mixture for 3-5 minutes (known as ta'liya) (until golden).]
*Then, toss into the boiling Mulukhiya.
*Ladle one spoonful of the cooking broth back into frying pan, stir, and toss again into the cooking pot.
*This will ensure that all the ta'liya is used. A pleasant 'tishshshsh' sound always follows tossing the ta'liya into the pot.
*Simmer for 2 minutes and then Enjoy


Warm Regards to all.
