Molochia

{Subtitle}

Name	Molochia (Egyptian spinach)
Origin	Egypt
Type	Side dish
Cook	Amany Shahin
Notes	Contains chicken broth, but vegetarians could replace this by a vegatable-based stock.
Trivia	It looks like spinach, tastes like spinach. I'm not sure that it isn't spinach... Anybody want to enlighten me (Ron)?

Ingredients (serves 4-6)

454 g molochia frozen, or 600-700 g fresh
1 cup of chicken broth
2 tsp chicken spice mix
2 garlic cloves, crushed
salt to taste
butter for frying

Preparation

Bring the chicken broth to boil, then add the frozen or defrosted (your call) molochia. (If you use fresh molochia, you will have to cook it, then chop afterwards.)
Meanwhile, fry the garlic in the butter until lightly glazed.
Once the molochia is done, add the garlic and chicken spices to it, mix, add salt to taste, simmer for a few more minutes (don't let it boil again), then serve.
