Mlookhiyeh (mlookhia)
Mlookhiyeh, also known as mulukhiyah or mloukhieh, is a traditional Middle Eastern dish made from the leaves of the jute plant, which are simmered into a thick, flavorful stew. The dish has deep cultural significance and is enjoyed across many countries, with variations in Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and Jordan. The tender, earthy leaves are typically cooked with garlic, coriander, and a rich broth, often served over rice or with flatbread.
