You must be wondering what 'Kushari' is ... It's a traditional Egyptian dish ... Totally Yum-O!
Kushari is an easy dish to make, but you'll need time in the kitchen to make it! Don't freak out! It's worth it!
Ingredients:
1 cup brown lentils
1 cup rice
1 cup cooked pasta -small elbow macaroni-
2 large onions, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 can chopped tomatoes
olive oil
vinegar
Salt & pepper
Cook the lentils in salted water, when tender, add the rice into the boiling water and cook until done.
Fry onion in oil until dark brown and crispy -be careful, you don't want to burn them!-
In a sauce pan, cook tomatoes and garlic in a little oil, then when cooked and thick, add 2 tbsp of vinegar, salt and pepper.
Mix the lentils, rice and pasta together.
In each plate, put a couple of spoons of the mixture, top with the tomato sauce, then a bit of the crispy onions.
Sprinkle with powdered cumin for a twist! Enjoy!

middle estern food is yaky tastless. uhhhh especially the egyptian.oh disgusting. i was so disapointed when i visited the area.
Nourrisla,
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the food in Egypt!
But, i think you were unlucky when it came to where you ate and what dishes you were offered!
Middle Eastern food, when cooked properly, is very delicious and is considered a delicacy!
you should take another try at some dishes and I'm sure you'll change your mind.
bla bla bla...Every body knows that Egyptians in general are 0 (zero) in cooking. I was there too and rarely ate something good. The only thing I liked was samak boulti and ganbari in delicious spices...(expensive though)
