Hendia with oil, also known as Jew’s mallow or Egyptian spinach, is a traditional dish in Middle Eastern cuisine. This green leafy vegetable is cooked down with garlic and olive oil until it becomes soft and tender. It often includes lemon juice or sumac to add a tangy flavor, balancing the earthiness of the greens. This simple, nutritious dish is usually served as a side, complementing meats and grains, or it can be enjoyed on its own with flatbread.
