Method

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pan and brown the beef shin for 5-6 minutes, then stir in the onion and cook for 6 minutes until soft.

  2. 2

    Add half the garlic and the ground coriander and cook for 1 minute, then pour in the beef stock. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes, until the beef is tender.

  3. 3

    Stir in the frozen molokhia and remaining garlic and simmer for a further 10 minutes, until the sauce is thick and glossy.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, cook the rice in plenty of boiling water for 10-12 minutes until tender, then drain, and serve the molokhia over the rice.
