2 hr 15 min135:00 - 7
When the sauce releases oil to the surface, remove the bay leaves and serve hot with bread.
💡 Tip: Make the mloukhia powder into a paste with cool oil before adding hot water; if the dry powder goes straight into water, small lumps remain.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve mloukhia in a deep plate suited for dipping bread, with optional plain rice and lemon.
