Egypt week was so interactive with kids, and the food was no different. Koshari is an Egyptian street food with rice, pasta, legumes, and sauce. Ordinarily, it takes a few more steps, but we streamlined the recipe to make it really simple to make for a weeknight meal. This Egyptian koshari recipe is not only delicious and satisfying, but is also simple enough that kids can help make it!
Koshari is a great way to introduce kids to some global foods that still feel familiar to most children. It’s a street food that’s available throughout the country, and is a very popular national dish.
Koshari is a carb bomb with both rice and pasta (which most kids love). It’s also slathered with saucy tomato goodness. This makes it perfect for kids because it has ingredients that are familiar to many little ones, with slightly different flavors. It also has some protein in it with chickpeas and lentils. The cumin sauce isn’t always used, but it’s very simple to make and we loved the added punch of flavor.
It’s also one of those assembly line recipes, which means it’s a great meal for picky eaters since everyone can assemble their own! That also means it looks like a lot of ingredients, but is actually very simple and straightforward to put together. After looking at a few different recipes, I streamlined everything to make it into a very simple weeknight meal for families, and one with which kids can easily help.
Below is our simple Egyptian koshari recipe we used while doing an Egypt virtual tour for the week!
If you’d like to see how we put it all together, here’s a video of how we did it!
