Molokhia

Molokhia here was solidly made — subtly herbal without anything to complain about. fenugreek seeds was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have. koshari is considered the national dish representing the multicultural influence on Egyptian co…

I made Molokhia for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe.

The best Molokhia I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The subtly herbal intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. fenugreek seeds was used without hesitation, the way it should be.
