📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Mulukhiyah is molokhia; in South Sudan, as in Sudan and Egypt, the chopped leaves are simmered in meat broth into a silky soup. Scented with garlic and coriander, it's eaten with kisra or rice.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Juba kitchen, green leaves are chopped fine on a cutting board and become a silky green soup in a pot.
