Step 1
Add the chicken, onions, cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaf and stock to a pot that's just large enough to hold the chicken. The chicken should be completely submerged. (you can add water if necessary) Cover and bring to a boil, then remove the lid and skim off any scum that accumulates on the surface. Keep skimming until there's no more foam coming up. Turn the heat down to a simmer, and cook the chicken for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Make a paste using a mortar and pestle by combining the garlic, coriander, olive oil and salt.
Step 3
In a frying pan add the paste you just made with 2 tablespoons ghee. Cook just until the garlic is brown but taking care not to burn it.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside, shred into bite size pieces when cool enough to handle.
Step 5
Put the garlic mixture into the stockpot along with the frozen chopped molokhia (jute leaves)
Step 6
Add the lemon juice and gently stir until the molokhia is thawed.
Step 7
Serve over rice and shredded chicken pieces. Garnish with crispy pita chips and extra lemon. Enjoy!
