Anyone.

gasp!! Walek i responded *smack*!... , j/k...

well, the masri one is Mloukhiyeh that's ground and the end result is almost like a soup that you pour on top of the rice and serve w/ chicken or beef.

the sharki one is Mloukhiyeh just the way it is -- cooked and served next to rice. People like to have it w/ lemons and they eat it w/ pita bread.

Mloukhiyeh with Chicken (Egyptian)
Mloukhiya with Chicken (Syrian)

sorry, but the syrian one is in Arabic (but i'm assuming u can read it, unlike me )


Use the recipes well ... And invite ME to dinner

The mouloukhiya you are talking about Houda is mostly called l'g'naouiya.
It is very easy to prepare . if it is the small version of the vegetable here is what I do :

for 3to4 ppls
for 2 pounds of mouloukhiya
1 small onion
5to 6 cloves of garlic
one pound of lamb (shoulder pieces preferably)(or chicken if you like)
4 tbs of olive oil
1 tsp of cumin
2 tsp papriks (el 3kri )
1/2 tsp black pepper
1tsp salt .
1tbs tomato paste

preparation

the meat chould be cut into small pieces , put it in a sauce pan olive oil ,add meat and onion sautee for few minutes (about 10 to 15 mnts) on midium heat , and stir frequently , meanwhile add all the spices and sautee for a couple more minutes , cover with 1 &1/2 liter of water cover and let cook and come up to a boyle, for about 30 minutes , add your tomato paste , stir and let boyle again until your meat is tender , about 30 mnts more dont forget to check every 10 to 12 mnts .. and check for water level . Add if neccessary .
Wash you mouloukhiya , remove the stems if any , do not puncture , you do not want that gel to come out .
When meat is almost cooked all the way , add your veggies let cook till tender .
Check and taste for seasonnig , turn the heat to low and let simmer for 10 more minutes , and voila!!

Ps: if you like spicy ,you can add a couple halapenos , or cayenne pepper .

let me know
