I come back from Egypt. It was one of the best journey of my life! We visited Black desert, White desert, spend two nights outdoor, watched oasises, practiced windsurfing. I tasted a very delicious egyptian dish - koshary and I would like to try to prepare it at home.
Recipe of Koshary
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup white rice and fry about 3 minutes. Add 1 cup rice and 3 cups water and salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the rice is tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Cook the macaroni (of two different tipes).
Cook 1 cup lentils in 2 cups water (15-20 minutes).
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet and fry 5 onions in the oil, stirring often, until they begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Add garlic and cook another minute. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Mix 4 tablespoons vinegar, half of the onion, chopped tomatoes and tomato paste, black pepper, salt, cumin. Simmer about 12 minutes.
Take a serving plate and serve rice, then macaroni, then the lentils and onions, and tomato sauce.
And enjoy your meal!

Dear Monika! I stayed in Cairo, in two oasises and in El Tur. The best koshary was in Cairo)))
Thank you for sharing this tasty Koshary recipe with us,in which town have you been put up?
Recipe sounds delicious, however I've a question. Do we need one cup of rice or 2 cups of rice?
Hope you'll write a blog about sightseeing in Egypt too.
