Egyptian Pilaf

with Spiced-Tomato Sauce and Cracked Coriander

An iconic Egyptian dish, koshari is essentially a rice-noodle-lentil pilaf topped with a spicy, vegetable-packed tomato sauce. As it bubbles away at a gentle simmer, this dish will fill your home with the scents of cinnamon and coriander. Add as much or as little of the Aleppo pepper as you’d like, and remember — it’s supposed to be spicy!
