I don't know if anybody knows any traditional or popular Egyptian (and more particularly Egyptian than Arabic) meals that I could make, but if anyone has a recipe they could share, I'd be grateful. I did not see a Middle Eastern thread in the first five or six pages of GWS so maybe there's a better resource, but ya'lls got some tasty meat-free recipes up in this. Koshary! Ingredients 4 oz. ditalini or macaroni, cooked 2 oz. spaghetti, cooked 4 oz. brown lentils, rinsed Kosher salt, to taste 1 cup cooked basmati rice (optional) 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained 2 cups canola oil 1⁄4 cup flour 2 medium onions, thinly sliced 1 tbsp. ground cumin 1⁄2 tsp. cayenne pepper 1⁄4 tsp. ground ginger 5 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups canned crushed tomatoes 2 tbsp. white wine vinegar Instructions Combine ditalini and spaghetti in a bowl; set aside. Put lentils and 4 cups water into a 2-qt. saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, 20 minutes. Season lentils with salt, drain, and transfer to a bowl along with rice and chickpeas; set aside. Heat oil in a 12″ skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Put flour into a bowl, add onions, and toss to coat. Working in 2 batches, add onions to hot oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer onions to paper towels to drain; reserve oil. Spoon 4 tbsp. oil from skillet into a 2-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, cumin, cayenne, and ginger; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and vinegar and bring to a simmer; cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and remove from heat. To serve, divide pasta mixture between 4 bowls; top with lentil mixture and fried onions. Spoon tomato sauce over each bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TychoCelchuuu posted:As for not using enough tahini to justify buying it, you should try finding some recipes with tahini. It's a really great ingredient. It can go in dan dan noodles, salads, sauces, wuhan noodles, and so on. Although frankly hummus is so good that I could probably go through infinite tahini just making hummus forever. When I buy tahini I buy a big ol' jar: Side note: While trying to recreate some street food from Taiwan I learned the hard way that tahini and asian-style sesame pastes are not swapable.
