Ingredient

Food ration :

6 servings

Cooking time :

1 mins

1 kg

large onion, cut in thin slices

7 cloves

fresh coriander, finely chopped

1/4 cup

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Dip the frozen jew’s mallow leaves in boiling water for 1 min then strain thoroughly.

* Step 2

In a saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons vegetable oil and fry the chicken thighs until they change in color. They shouldn’t be completely cooked. Add the bay leaves and some salt and cover with water. Cook the chicken at medium heat for 45 min or until it is well done. Remove foam as it starts to form on the surface of the water. Discard the foam.

* Step 3

Remove the chicken pieces, strain the chicken broth and set it aside. Remove the bones from the chicken and keep chicken pieces aside.

* Step 4

In a small skillet, fry the crushed garlic and chopped coriander with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add in the dried coriander. Remove from heat.

* Step 5

In a deep pot, fry the onion slices until golden with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

* Step 6

Add in the jew’s mallow leaves. Stir occasionally until the leaves become very tender then add the fried garlic-coriander mix, cinnamon, caraway, lemon juice, chicken broth cubes and some salt. Mix well then pour the chicken broth over the jew’s mallow and add water if liquid doesn’t cover the mixture.

* Step 7

Place pot on low heat and let it simmer for 15 min. Adjust lemon and salt to taste.

* Step 8

Serving the Mulukhiyah is an art in itself; in each individual plate, place first the white rice, topped with chicken pieces, followed by a layer of Mulukhiyah stew. Add a spoonful or more of the onions soaked in red vinegar and finally sprinkle with the pita bread.
