Mloukhia
ملوخية
Not a regular dish — rarely is fine
Why
Green mloukhia is a heavy leafy green and is not an everyday dish in this dietary approach. Eating it occasionally — roughly once a month — in moderate amounts is fine given its place in Egyptian and Levantine cooking. The closest substitute is freekeh with meat or pigeon.
