Time 1h22m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 large onion, sliced into thin rings
Salt
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cooking oil
Cooking oil
1 small onion, grated
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 -1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 can 28-oz tomato sauce
Salt and pepper
1-2 tbsp distilled white vinegar
1 1/2 cup brown lentils, picked over and well-rinsed
1 1/2 cup medium-grain rice, rinsed, soaked in water for 15 minutes, drained
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1/2 tsp coriander
2 cups elbow pasta
Cooking oil
Water
1 15-oz can chickpeas, rinsed, drained and warmed

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.

EGYPTIAN KOSHARI



Egyptian Koshari image

Lentils, rice and pasta are cooked and then served in a spicy tomato sauce. This is a typical Egyptian dish that is very good and cheap over here! Puree the sauce in a food processor if you like a smoother texture.
