🇪🇬 Egypt recipe
Koshari
Koshari is the undisputed national dish of Egypt, a magnificent street food that layers rice, brown lentils, macaroni, and chickpeas under a crown of crispy fried onions and two bold sauces. The tomato sauce is warmly spiced with cumin and chili, while the sharp garlic-vinegar dakka cuts through the richness. It is hearty, vegan, and deeply satisfying.
