Table for One


Kusheri is an Egyptian vegetarian dish that features rice, macaroni and lentils. Chickpeas can be added as well. The most difficult part of this dish is preparing the four separate starches and carmelizing the onions. And doing it alone. But we here at IGAGPTSIWYW will persevere and hope that our sous chef returns soon.


1 cu. cooked macaroni

1 cu. cooked chickpeas

1 cu. cooked lentils

1 cu. cooked brown rice

Garlic flavored vinegar

Carmelized onions

Sriracha (here is where she would have said 'Roosta Boosta')


To carmelize onions:

3 tbsp. oil

3 onions, sliced

1 tsp. brown/ white sugar

Salt


Heat oil on Med-High. Stir in onions and reduce heat to medium-low. Add sugar if desired. Stir until onions ate soft and dark golden, 30 min. or more.


1. Combine macaroni , chickpeas, lentils and rice in a bowl. Mix well.

2. Garnish with vinegar and carmelized onions and hot sauce (Sriracha)
