碧绿的苦菜汤

莫洛西亚 Molokhia 是中东和北非一带常见的一种苦菜，它生吃的时候挺苦的，所以埃及人一般不会生吃它。

埃及人会把这种菜切得很碎很碎，然后煮成一种粘稠的深绿色浓汤，再和肉搭配在一起吃。

据说这道菜很受小孩子欢迎。

Molokhia. It’s a leafy green vegetable, but it’s never eaten raw. It’s finely chopped and cooked with a bunch of aromatic spices, and by the time it’s ready for consumption, it looks like a thick, green stew. Some people say it’s slimy, and it is ever so slightly so, but when cooked well, the taste overpowers the consistency. It’s often served with chicken or beef, but you can sometimes find it with rabbit as well (a delicacy I have not yet tried). It’s often served over rice. I’m not sure how successful I was in making it sound appetizing, but let me tell you this – all the Arab children I’ve ever encountered love it.
莫洛西亚是一种多叶的绿色蔬菜，但埃及人从不生吃这种菜。把它切碎，然后加入香料煮至可食用之时，这时候它看起来就像浓稠的绿色炖菜。有人说它黏糊糊的，有时候它确实有些黏稠，但是煮得好的时候，它的味道会盖过它的粘稠。它通常与鸡肉或牛肉一起食用，但有时也会与兔肉一起食用(我还没尝过这种美味)。人们往往会把它浇在米饭上食用。我不确定我是否成功地引起了你的食欲，但我想告诉你，我遇到的所有阿拉伯儿童都喜欢它。
