Koshary

This amazing bowl of carbohydrate deliciousness is Egypt's national dish: koshary. It's an ecceltic mix of rice, various kinds of noodles, brown lentils, crispy onions and chickpeas topped with a very tastey tomato sauce. I always add the spicy hot sauce as well. This of course was one of the staple meals that helped fuel the revolution. Sarah told me that bowls of koshary were handed out in Tahrir Square for free on the days with millions of protesters; keeping people's spirirts up and the energy to continue the fight alive.The other night we went to Koshary Hind in Heliopolis to get my fix.
