Join Manal and Nisha from our Cooks Collective for this cooking workshop and learn how to cook Palestinian “green stew” with chicken (Molokhia) and fragrant yellow rice.
A comforting staple of home cooking in Palestine and Egypt, Molokhia is a simple and delicious stew with lots of garlic and nutritious mallow leaves, which gives a distinct bright green colour and silky texture. There are various tricks and folklore around the cooking of Molokhia that you will learn during this workshop. Vibrant and aromatic Yellow Rice is a tasty compliment to any meal. Two simple and stunning dishes to add to your week night or dinner party menu!
Please note: the recipe contains chicken and is gluten-free.
