244259
The authentic flavour of molokhia, serving cuisines from around the world.
This finely chopped molokhia (or water spinach), native to Egypt, is a high-quality vegetable ingredient specifically selected for chefs specialising in traditional, Middle Eastern and contemporary cuisine. Picked from clean, healthy shoots with a vibrant green colour, the leaves are carefully harvested, cut to a uniform size, washed and blanched before being frozen. This high-performance process guarantees the complete preservation of the plant's original organoleptic qualities, offering a texture that is both tender and meaty. Comprising 100% vegetables with no additives, this product offers a real point of difference on menus thanks to its unique vegetable profile and natural thickening properties.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Gastronomic applications: An essential staple of Egyptian, Levantine and North African cuisines, molokhia is mainly cooked as a soup or a slow-cooked stew. It develops a characteristic silky texture that naturally thickens broths. It is traditionally paired beautifully with poached chicken, rabbit or lamb, strongly seasoned with ta'leya (a mixture of crushed garlic and dried coriander sautéed in clarified butter). For bistronomic or fusion cuisine, its unique velvety consistency lends itself to creating vegetable emulsions or original accompanying sauces for fish or white meats.
► Preparation: Ready to use straight from the pack without prior defrosting, the finely chopped molokhia saves valuable time during preparation. For a basic preparation, simply add it to a seasoned boiling stock and simmer for 5 minutes over a low heat. It meets professional nutritional standards perfectly (GEMRCN cooked vegetables category).
► Storage: A frozen product that must be stored in a deep-freeze at -18°C. Its 400g pouch format offers excellent flexibility of use, keeping waste to a minimum during service. Warning: never refreeze a product once it has been thawed. Available in our Frozen Foods section at Le Delas in the Rungis International Market.
