Egyptian Koshari (Lentils, Rice, and Pasta Bowl)
Egypt's beloved street food and unofficial national dish — a layered bowl of rice, brown lentils, and macaroni topped with a spiced tomato sauce, caramelised onions, and a punchy vinegar-cumin dressing. Koshari is a deeply satisfying plant-based meal that is greater than the sum of its parts — every component is simple, but together they create something complex, textured, and extraordinarily flavourful.
