Steps

40 minutes

1

First, fry bread cubes until golden and set aside. In the same oil, fry the onions until crispy, then drain on a strainer to keep them crunchy.
2

Prepare the white garlic sauce by mixing all the ingredients together cold.
3

For the red sauce, sauté the garlic in 2 tablespoons of the onion frying oil, add the vinegar, then add the tomato puree, chili paste, salt, and spices. Let it simmer until thickened, then thin with 1/2 cup water.
4

To make the koshari, toast the ditalini pasta in 1/4 cup of the onion frying oil, then add the vermicelli and toast until golden.
5

Add the soaked brown lentils and sauté briefly.
6

Add the washed rice and sauté.
7

Add a ladle of the red sauce and a ladle of the white garlic sauce—this tip really boosts the flavor.
8

Cover with boiling water.
9

Reduce the heat, cover, and let it cook until the liquid is absorbed and everything is tender.
10

Serve topped with pickles, the crispy fried onions, fried bread cubes, and cooked chickpeas.
