This Egyptian classic is transformed into a silky, umami-rich masterpiece using the deep, collagen-filled notes of Cook Mania Chicken Stock. The result is a perfectly balanced "vane" (viscosity) that carries the punchy aroma of the traditional ta’leya (garlic coriander sizzle) throughout every spoonful.

Ingredients

Protein: 1/2 kg Bone-in chicken (boiled and pan-seared for serving)
Base: 1 pouch (500ml) Cook Mania Chicken Stock
Aromatics: 2 tbsp Cook Mania Minced Garlic, 1 tbsp dried coriander
Main Component: 400g Freshly minced Molokhia leaves (or high-quality frozen)
Finish: 1 tbsp Ghee or clarified butter, a squeeze of fresh lime
Seasoning: Salt and a pinch of sugar (to preserve the vibrant green color)

Instructions

Boil: In a medium pot, bring the Cook Mania Chicken Stock to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Incorporate: Add the minced Molokhia to the simmering stock. Whisk constantly to ensure the leaves are fully integrated and no clumps remain.
Simmer: Allow it to reach a single "breath" (the point just before a full boil) and then immediately turn the heat to low. Do not cover the pot, as this keeps the color bright green.
Sauté: In a separate small skillet, melt the ghee. Add the Cook Mania Minced Garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the dried coriander and continue to fry until the garlic is a perfect golden brown.
The "Sihka": Pour the sizzling garlic mixture (the ta’leya) directly over the Molokhia in the pot.
Serve: Stir gently and serve immediately alongside vermicelli rice and the seared chicken.
