I like to think of this vegetarian dish as Egyptian-style chilli. I was first introduced to it during a trip to Egypt four years ago, where it was nearly all we ate for a week! It's served in "fast food" type restaurants, sold from carts by street vendors and made in the home. You other reviewers you can't have koshari without the pasta!!!
Instructions to make Koshari:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan and saute the onion and carrot for 10 minutes until slightly brown. Add the ginger, chilli and garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the baharat spice, stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato puree and tomatoes and stir well.
- Add the chickpeas, lentils, rice and vegetable stock and simmer on a low heat for half an hour. Add the pasta and season to taste. cook until the pasta is soft.
- Serve with crusty bread, a sprinkling of coriander, parsley and a grate of lemon.
I add vinegar and tomato paste to the red sauce to make it better. Koshari (كشري) also called kushari or kosheri, is one of the most popular dishes in the land of the Pharaohs, a delicious vegan combination prepared with chickpeas, lentils, macaroni and rice. Egyptian koshari is also called koshari abu gibba. The full name can be explained by the presence, in the recipe, of black lentils, also called ads abu gibba. Koshari is a cozy pile of warm carbs—traditionally, cooked rice, lentils, macaroni, and chickpeas, all mixed together—smothered in perky tomato sauce and buried in fried shallots.
