| this is how it is supposed to look |
The other night we had a particularly tasty Egyptian dish at the Tramsheds; it was called Koshari. I’ve found a ‘foolproof’recipe by Egyptian author Ahdaf Soueif so I thought I would give it a go for supper tonight. I hope Sarah enjoys being a guinea pig.
It’s a dish made up of layers of pasta, rice and lentils, a spicy tomato sauce and then topped with sweet caramelised onions. I’ve just made the tomato sauce, it seems to be incredibly piquant and I think perhaps I should have used less lime juice. The rest I will assemble this evening. I'll let you know how it turns out.
If it all goes wrong I shall blame the thunder, hail, lightning, manic barking dog and a pop-up tent in the lounge.

I've never heard of a dish containing Pasta, Rice, AND Lentils before. But Veganism baffles me a bit. It does look very good!
ReplyDeleteIt was a really interesting mix. Should definitely have upped the quantity of caramelised onion for the topping.
DeleteIm with crox
ReplyDeleteThat's nice, I hope you'll be very happy together.
DeleteAn interesting mix of ingredients - looks a bit like spag Bol.
ReplyDeleteMixing the pasta, rice and vermicelli gave it a really interesting texture.
DeleteSpag. bol. (or bog. in our household) that is. Variations of sauce with all in that your veganism allows and a load of spice from one of the other jars in the rack. Tasty I am sure.
ReplyDeleteLooked a bit like spag bog but didn't taste like one. Definite North African undertones.
DeleteI'm doing a cookbook. The first dish is fish, chips and mushy peas. Are you interested?
ReplyDeleteOne of the first things on my list to eat when I get back to Blighty.
DeleteWell done Sue; your dish looks delicious, so does the red wine in the background!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
Vegan wine too!
