Steps:
- Sprinkle the onion rings with salt, then toss them in the flour to coat. Shake off excess flour.
- In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat, cook the onion rings, stirring often, until they turn a nice caramelized brown. Onions must be crispy, but not burned (15-20 minutes).
- In a saucepan, heat 1 tbsp cooking oil. Add the grated onion, cook on medium-high until the onion turns a translucent gold (do not brown). Now add the garlic, coriander, and red pepper flakes, if using, and saute briefly until fragrant (30-45 seconds more).
- Stir in tomato sauce and pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens (15 minutes or so).
- Stir in the distilled white vinegar, and turn the heat to low. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Cook the lentils. Bring lentils and 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot or saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook until lentils are just tender (15-17 minutes). Drain from water and season with a little salt. (Note: when the lentils are ready, they should not be fully cooked. They should be only par-cooked and still have a bite to them as they need to finish cooking with the rice).
- Now, for the rice. Drain the rice from its soaking water. Combine the par-cooked lentils and the rice in the saucepan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp cooking oil, salt, pepper, and coriander. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Add warm water to cover the rice and lentil mixture by about 1 1/2 inches (you'll probably use about 3 cups of water here). Bring to a boil; the water should reduce a bit. Now cover and cook until all the liquid has been absorbed and both the rice and lentils are well cooked through (about 20 minutes). Keep covered and undisturbed for 5 minutes or so.
- Now make the pasta. While the rice and lentils are cooking, make the pasta according to package instructions by adding the elbow pasta to boiling water with a dash of salt and a little oil. Cook until the pasta is al dente. Drain.
- Cover the chickpeas and warm in the microwave briefly before serving.
- To serve, fluff the rice and lentils with a fork and transfer to a serving platter. Top with the elbow pasta and 1/2 of the tomato sauce, then the chickpeas, and finally 1/2 of the crispy onions for garnish. Serve, passing the remaining sauce and crispy onions separately.

10 OF THE BEST TRADITIONAL DISHES TO TRY IN EGYPT

- Ful Medames. A simple dish of stewed fava beans, ful medames is the archetypal Egyptian staple. The oldest evidence of fava beans being used for human consumption comes from a Neolithic site near Nazareth, Israel; and in Egypt, it’s likely that the dish dates back to the time of the pharaohs.
- Ta'meya. Another hugely popular street food, ta’meya is Egypt’s answer to the felafel. Unlike their Middle Eastern cousins, however, ta’meya are made from crushed fava beans instead of chickpeas.
- Mulukhiya. Spelled differently from restaurant to restaurant (with variations including molokhia, molokhiya and moroheiya), mulukhiya is an Egyptian staple named after the plant of the same name.
- Fattah. Popular throughout the Middle East, the Egyptian version of fattah is typically associated with celebrations and religious festivals. In particular, it is served at Eid al-Adha, the sacrificial feast that marks the end of Ramadan fasting; and to celebrate the arrival of a new baby.
- Kushari. An affordable and uniquely Egyptian dish, kushari has become something of a cult phenomenon with entire restaurants in Cairo and other cities dedicated to serving it exclusively.
- Hamam Mahshi. Squab, or young pigeon, may not be a conventional meat in Western culture but it’s something of a delicacy in Egypt. Pigeons are raised in dovecotes across the country specifically for the plate, providing a dark meat that has its own unique flavor.
- Hawawshi. Though it’s served as a side dish in restaurants and as a popular grab-and-go street food option, hawawshi is perhaps best known as a staple of feel-good Egyptian home cooking.
- Liver Sandwiches. Liver is a common ingredient in many Egyptian dishes. In the historic port city of Alexandria, liver sandwiches are a particular specialty and visitors travel from far and wide to buy them from street food vendors or fast food shops.
- Sayadeya. One for the seafood lovers, sayadeya is another coastal delicacy best sampled in seaside cities like Alexandria, Suez and Port Said where the catch is guaranteed to be fresh.
- Kunafa. No list of must-try dishes would be complete without dessert, and kunafa is one of Egypt’s most popular. Traditionally served during Ramadan to keep people full during fasting hours, the original version comprises two layers of extra-thin semolina flour noodles.
