Apologies if this is a frequently asked question. I want an authentic recipe if anyone has one. A friend made it for me once and spiced it up, it was a very dark green and not at all runny, i think paprika was added...

...I can only find frozen melokhiya here so any suggestions for an authentic recipe are most welcome.

Thanks in advance!!

Lebanese Molokheya

1 kg Molokheya - fresh
2-3 cups Chicken Broth
1 tbsp Garlic - crushed
1 tbsp Ghee - or margarine
1/3 cup Corn Oil
1 tbsp Coriander - dried and ground
1 bunch Coriander - fresh
Salt and Pepper

Wash moloukhia and coriander well under running water and put on a clean towel until water is absorbed. Snipe moloukhia and coriander leaves.

In a medium deep pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add moloukhia and coriander leaves and stir until dark green (3-5 minutes).

Add broth, salt and pepper and leave to boil for 10-15 minutes.

In the meantime, heat ghee or margarine in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ground coriander and stir until golden brown.

Immediately pour components of the skillet onto moloukhia in pan. Leave for 1 minute then take off heat and serve right away.

You can use frozen instead of fresh molokheya, it doesn't make a difference.
I'm a vegetarian, so I use vegetable instead of chicken broth.

Thanks for the reply, I'd never have thought you could add the coriander leaves!! That's great I'm gonna try this next week.

Thanks Dalia
