Ingredients
- 60 g Agashe spice blend
- Salt
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 green chillies, roughly chopped
- 400 g frozen, minced molokhiya
- 4 tbsp roughly chopped coriander leaves
- 3 tbsp roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
- Cooked basmati rice, to serve
- Salad leaves, to serve
Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 1 brown onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp finely chopped garlic
- 1½ tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp Vegeta stock powder
- 1 kg chicken wings
- 3 cups (750 ml) water
Resting time: 10 minutes
Marinating time: 15 minutes
Instructions
- To make the chicken broth, in a large, heavy-based saucepan, heat the oil and ghee. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and golden-brown. Stir in the salt, pepper and Vegeta stock powder, followed by the chicken wings and the water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and lightly simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is just cooked through. Using tongs, remove the chicken to a baking tray lined with baking paper and set aside. Pour off half the chicken broth to a large jug and use in another recipe, reserving the remaining chicken stock in the saucepan.
- Preheat the oven to 220˚C on the grill setting. Sprinkle the chicken wings with the Agashe spice blend and a generous pinch of salt, then grill for 5 minutes, before turning and grilling for a further 5 minutes, until crisp.
- To finish the molokhiya, return the saucepan with half the chicken broth to a medium heat. Stir through the cumin, salt, chillies, frozen molokhiya and herbs and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until thickened. Season to taste and adjust to your preference.
- Serve the molokhiya with rice and salad on the side.
