Method

1. First: clean the dried molokhia leaves and remove the long, dry veins
2. Soak the dried molokhia leaves in lukewarm water for half an hour, then rinse them several times until the rinse water is clear
3. Drain the leaves and squeeze them well with your hands
4. Put a little oil in a nonstick pan over low heat and fry the molokhia until it is well dried, stirring occasionally
5. Second: prepare the chicken — wash it well and boil it with lemon peel, a dry onion, and salt only, because strong seasonings can alter the molokhia's flavor
6. Third: put butter or ghee in the pot, fry the crushed garlic with the chopped coriander (cilantro), then add the fried molokhia on top
7. Add the chicken cooking broth to the pot and let the molokhia simmer over medium heat until the leaves are cooked
8. Finally, add lemon juice to taste and the deboned chicken, stir and remove from the heat
9. You can add red or green hot pepper to the molokhia if desired
10. Serve the dried molokhia alongside rice cooked with vermicelli; add lemon juice to taste when serving
