When you think of typical Egyptian food, kushary is likely to come to mind. Kushary is an Egyptian’s claim to fame. It is a delicious comfort food, most popular street food in Egypt, and a supremely delicious combination of easy to find grains, onion, garlic, and a savory-tangy tomato sauce! If you are on a low carb diet, then look away. This is not a low calorie meal by any means, but it definitely has a lot of nutritional benefits and comes packed with great carb fueled energy. Lentils are rich in dietary fiber, magnesium, and these slow burning complex carbs are excellent for regulating blood sugar and boosting energy levels. Lentils are also high in iron and low in fat, making them the perfect inexpensive and healthy substitute for red meat! The dish is super easy to make; you just cook rice, lentils, and macaroni and combine. This lovely trio is topped with a delicious garlicky vinegar tomato sauce and crunchy fried onions. The trick to a perfect kushary is cooking the rice, pasta, and lentils properly so that they are not too soft and combine well without getting… smushy, for lack of a better word! Good thing I will show you how to cook this easy dish to perfection!
