EGYPTIAN MOLOKHIA
ملوخية

“Before my dad got COVID, he would call me from his nursing home every night around 9pm. He was only 68, but had multiple strokes which accelerated some dementia.

The only thing he said when we spoke is “have you had any Molokhia?” which is a dish grandma used to make for him as a kid. Then like clockwork, he’d let out a labored laugh and say “ok, i’ll talk to you tomorrow”
