Begin by detaching the mallow leaves from their stems. Wash the leaves thoroughly in a mixture of water and a small pinch of salt.

After soaking them for a while, rinse the leaves thoroughly under a running water to remove any remaining dirt or grit. Make sure to drain the water completely.

In a skillet or a pot, sauté the diced onion with olive oil until it's a soft and translucent. Once done, remove from the pot and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the prepared mallow leaves and a splash of water. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon on medium heat until the leaves start to wilt and reduce in volume.

As the leaves become tender, reintroduce the sautéed onions into the skillet and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a serving plate and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil.
