Dry molokhia, or molokhia ... a truly royal dish! It takes some time to prepare, but it is well worth it. Nothing is more delicious, not to mention that it is very nourishing.

Ingredients:

200 g dried molokhia, or as desired Boiled chicken with spices 4 heads garlic Hot pepper - optional, amount as desired Roasted onion Ghee Vegetable oil 2 bunches fresh coriander 1 tablespoon dried coriander 1 tablespoon vegetable stock seasoning 1/2 cup lemon juice

Preparation method:

Remove the stems from the molokhia leaves.
Put water in a pot over the heat. When the water boils, add the molokhia. If the amount of leaves is large, divide them and add them to the pot in batches.
When the molokhia leaves wilt and change color, lift them out of the water using a large slotted spoon, like the one used for frying. Do not pour the molokhia with the boiling water; lift it out with the spoon so any sand stays in the pot.
Drain the molokhia leaves and run cold water over them in the strainer until the water draining from them runs clear. Then leave the molokhia aside to drain well.
Roast a few onions separately over the gas, then chop and mash them. Mash the garlic with the red or green hot pepper.
In a pot over the heat, sauté the garlic, onion, and pepper in a little oil and ghee, then add the fresh coriander and stir until wilted.
Add the well-drained molokhia, dried coriander, vegetable stock seasoning, 1 cup of the previously boiled chicken broth, the spices, and lemon juice, then stir.
After 15 minutes of boiling over medium heat, add the remaining chicken broth and let it boil for another 15 minutes without covering it.
Remove the bones from the chicken and add the deboned chicken, then stir. Add more lemon juice again, as desired, stir, and turn off the heat.
Serve the molokhia with rice with vermicelli.
