Jute Mallow (Molokhia)

Jute leaves and chicken are simmered in a lemony chicken broth and served with rice for the classic Middle Eastern stew known as Molokhia. This Lebanese version is irresistibly delicious and filled with antioxidants.

Believed that the name Molokhia (pronounced Molokheyya, Molokhia, or Mulukhiyyah) originated from the Arabic word Mulukia (meaning royals). Also from the word malek, meaning king, referring to food served exclusively to royalty.
