Hey, y’all! Happy Monday! You are probably wondering what the heck is Koshari??? Simply put, its lentils, rice, macaroni with onions and tomatoes and spices. Kinda a spoiler alert there for the ingredients! Koshari is actually an Egyptian street food. This dish is super delicious. I’ve made it in the past and had to re-do it for a post!
To start, you’ll need a few pots and pans. One to cook the rice, one to cook the lentils, one to cook the macaroni, and one for the onions/garlic/tomatoes. Cook the lentils as you would regularly. While these are cooking, you can get the rice going as well. Both will take a bit of time, so hold off on starting the macaroni.
The onions can go into a skillet and get sauteed. Add the garlic. Sautee for a few more minutes. Add cumin, coriander, and allspice. Mix everything together and add a can of diced tomatoes and a few tablespoons of tomato paste. Mix all of this in and set aside as a topping.
Once the macaroni is done cooking, mix together the lentils, rice, and macaroni. Top with the onion/tomato/spice mix.
Enjoy your Egyptian street food!!!
