This Restaurant Puts Shish Tawook & Egyptian Molokhia in One Sandwich

In Egyptian cuisine, molokhia always comes hand in hand with chicken, usually with a couple of scoops of white rice huddled between them. Sometimes, a few bites of breads scoop up the molokhia in lieu of the rice. But putting molokhia and chicken in a loaf of bread is simply unheard of.

Fahmawy, a restaurant that just opened in Jeddah's Al Salama, braves this uncharted territory with a sandwich that consists of half a loaf of baladi bread, shish tawook chicken, and a good dollop of classic Egyptian molokhia. Somehow, the molokhia doesn’t make the bread soggy - or so we've heard.
