Mulukhiyah a middle eastern meal

Mulukhiyah

 

 

 Mulukhiyah, mloukhiya, molokhia, mulukhiyya, or malukhiyahis the leaves of Corchorus species used as a vegetable  in Middle Eastern, East African, North African, and South Asian cuisine. Mulukhiyyah is rather bitter, and when boiled, the resulting liquid is a thick, highly mucilageinous  broth; it is often described as "slimy," rather like cooked okra. Mulukhiyyah  is generally eaten cooked, not raw, and is most frequently turned into a kind of soup  or stew, typically bearing the same name as the vegetable in the local language.
