Ingredients

• 500g of Mulukhiyah leaves (fresh or frozen)
• 1 whole chicken (about 1.5 kg)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
• 4 cups of chicken broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

In a large pot, add the whole chicken along with chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Pour in four cups of water and bring it to a boil. Skim off any foam that collects on the surface. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 2: Cook the Mulukhiyah

If using fresh Mulukhiyah leaves, wash and finely chop them. If using frozen, simply thaw them. In a separate pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until golden. Add the ground coriander and stir for a minute.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients

Pour the cooked chicken broth into the pot with the sautéed garlic and coriander. Gradually add the Mulukhiyah and stirring constantly, allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes until the leaves are tender. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 4: Serve

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it. Serve the hot Mulukhiyah topped with shredded chicken, accompanied by lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy your delicious homemade Mulukhiyah!
