Mloukhiya Recipe

1 1 / 2 cups mloukhiya powders

1 cup olive oil

8 cups hot waters

4 1 / 2 pounds beefs

6 cloves garlic

2 bay leaves

1 1 / 2 teaspoons cumin

1 1 / 2 teaspoons coriander

1 1 / 2 teaspoons paprika

1 1 / 2 teaspoons ras el hanouts

salt

black pepper

Off the heat, mix mloukhiya powder with olive oil until smooth.

Whisk in the hot water little by little to avoid lumps.

Add beef, garlic, bay leaves, cumin, coriander (or caraway), paprika, ras el hanout, salt & pepper. (Optional: add marrow bones, Harissa .)

Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on very low heat for 4-6 hours, until sauce is dark and glossy and meat is very tender.

Serve hot with fresh bread to dip in the sauce.
