Green minced chopped molokhia 400g

Molokhia, also known as Egyptian spinach or Jew’s mallow, is a leafy green vegetable cherished for its unique texture and deep, slightly bitter flavour. Nesmah’s Frozen Chopped Molokhia offers a convenient way to enjoy this nutrient-rich green without the hassle of sourcing and preparing fresh leaves. The leaves are finely chopped and frozen immediately after harvesting, preserving their vibrant green colour, nutritional value, and distinctive mucilaginous texture when cooked.

Molokhia is widely used in Egyptian, Levantine, and North African cuisine, often cooked into a thick, wholesome stew served with rice or bread. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it is particularly valued for its high iron and fibre content. Nesmah’s frozen version allows you to prepare authentic molokhia dishes quickly and easily while maintaining the traditional taste and texture.

Cooking Instructions:

• Defrosting: No need to thaw before cooking. Simply add directly to your dish from frozen.
• Cooking: Add the frozen molokhia to a simmering broth or stew, stirring gently. Cook for around 5-10 minutes until fully heated through. Avoid overcooking to preserve the texture.
• Serving Suggestion: Typically enjoyed with garlic, coriander, and a squeeze of lemon, molokhia pairs beautifully with slow-cooked meats such as lamb or chicken and is traditionally served over rice or with flatbread.

Information:

• Molokhia has been a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine for centuries and is often linked to historical tales of Egyptian royalty, as it was once believed to be a dish enjoyed by the pharaohs.
• Its naturally thick, slightly gelatinous texture is due to the mucilage content in the leaves, which makes it a unique addition to soups and stews.
• Molokhia is a great plant-based source of iron, making it beneficial for those following a vegetarian or iron-rich diet.
