Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped mulukhiyah leaves also known as Jew's mallow or Egyptian spinach
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or Egyptian bread for serving

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  • Add the chopped mulukhiyah leaves to the pot and stir well. Cook for a few minutes until the leaves wilt.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend the cooked mulukhiyah leaves with vegetable broth and water until you achieve a smooth consistency.

  • Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • Serve the mulukhiyah hot over cooked rice or with Egyptian bread on the side.
