But molokhiyya has become part of Cypriot cuisine now. They cook it better than the Egytians. Did you know that the recipes for Molekhiyya are on old Egyptian Papyri?
I bet you hte Bamyeh too. (okra)
Deniz, molokhiyya? Are we talking molesha in grcy? Mallow in English?
No Mallow is different. That has palmate leaves and best cooked with egg and aggrelli/Asparagus. Just checked Wikipedia; some call it Jews spinach.
Molokhia is the Grekified word. You must know it. he leaves are narrow, like the shape of a slender cypress tree. Stewed with chicken served with lemon and garlic.
Molohiya is what Asil NAdir chap used to use to transport cannabis with.
Thanks boys. Ah yes molohiya. of course.
(Think mallow will be the next CY F+D.)
