Mlookhia (Jute Mallow) stew. A staple Palestinian/Middle Eastern dish that I make often because it’s THAT good! Recipe ⬇️⬇️⬇️ NOTE: you can adjust everything according to your preferences & needs (less meat, more meat, no meat, no spinach, all dried mlookhia or all frozen…do your thing or follow along) 😊 Ingredients: •3 lbs of bone in chicken (or your favorite meat for stews; beef chuck roast cut into large chunks is a delicious option) •14 cups of water (a lot will evaporate, but you want your meat to be covered) •one whole onion •15oz package frozen spinach •14oz package of frozen mlookhia (found at middle eastern markets) •2 cups dried mlookhia (you can skip this and sub another package of mlookhia) •chicken bullion powder (to taste) •2 tbs tomato paste (optional) •several cloves of minced garlic •2 tbs olive oil Directions: 1. Add water to a large pot and bring to a boil on high heat. 2. Add one whole onion and chicken bullion powder to taste. 3. Add meat and simmer on medium heat until chicken is cooked through. 4. Remove chicken, set it in a baking dish. 5. Mix olive oil with your favorite seasonings (I used sazon tropical, garlic powder & black pepper). 6. Brush this mixture on both sides of your chicken pieces. Bake at 450F for 15 mins 7. Add frozen spinach & frozen mlookhia to the broth; allow them to warm through and skim the foam). 8. Add dried mlookhia (skip if using all frozen) and bring to a simmer. 9. Allow the soup to simmer for 30 min. 10. Fry minced garlic in olive oil until golden brown. Add to stew. 11. Serve with white rice & lemon juice!
