Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 14-ounce package frozen minced molokhia (400g)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, ghee, butter, or a combination
- 5 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon fine salt plus more if needed
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- vermicelli rice, to serve (optional)
- Lemon wedges, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the chicken stock in a large pot over high heat until it reaches a low boil.
- Turn the heat off and add the frozen minced molokhia, stirring occasionally as it melts into the broth for about 15 minutes.
- In a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil, ghee, or butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the minced garlic and let it sizzle until fragrant, about 30 seconds, ensuring it doesn't brown.
- Once the garlic is golden, remove from heat and mix in the ground coriander.
- Pour the garlic mixture into the pot of molokhia. If any remains in the pan, add a spoon of molokhia to it, swirl, and pour back into the pot.
- Mix the soup and season with salt and pepper. Heat over medium until hot but not boiling, around 3 minutes, and serve with optional vermicelli rice and lemon wedges.
Notes
Adjust the seasoning according to taste for a personalized flavor.
