Dried Ground Molokhia

Ingredients

• 400 g dried ground molokhia (or dried leaves ground in a food processor or crushed by hand)
• 2 chicken stock cubes
• 1 to 1 1/2 liters boiling water or chicken stock
• 1/2 head of garlic, crushed
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Lemon, for serving

Method

1. Put half the boiling water or stock in a pot with the stock cubes.
2. Add the ground molokhia and let it boil. If it absorbs the water, add more; skim any foam, and add water until you reach the consistency you want.
3. In a small pan, fry the garlic in the oil until golden and add to the molokhia. Taste and add salt and black pepper as needed. Serve with white rice, with or without vermicelli.
