Clean the rabbit with water and lemon slices, immersing it in water with salt and sugar to remove unwanted taste or smell.

Prepare a large pot with a bit of oil and add pieces of rabbit to brown them.

Add aromatic flavors: carrots, garlic, and celery to the pot with the rabbit.

Pour in boiling water to create a stock with the rabbit and vegetables.

Cook the rabbit for about 45 minutes, then add salt and black pepper.

Remove the vegetables from the stock and add the stock to the frozen molokhia leaves, mixing until dissolved.

Fry garlic in margarine to create a Tasha, then add ground coriander and salt to it.

Combine the Tasha with the molokhia for flavor.
