I saw this street snack being scarfed up by Anthony Bourdain in Cairo on one of his episodes recently, and as I am a big fan of one-bowl meals, I want some of this. It is called kushari and this photo sort of looks like it:
It is made of lentils, rice, pasta, onions, tomato paste, hot paste (hot peppers), and vinegar. All social classes enjoy this street food. It looks a bit like Skyline chili to me, the 5-way.
No recipe yet, but I met an Egyptian physician recently whom I hope will share his (or his wife's) recipe.
No Skyline Chili here in Lexington, but the Gold Star is a reasonable facsimile.
Coming tomorrow: Who is the Shell Answer Man anyway?
