Pass the Koshari!
If you have ever been to Egypt or tried Egyptian cuisine, you might not be surprised to learn that these ancient people were vegetarian. In fact, the national dish of this country does not contain any meat or animal products!

Koshari is a dish that showcases the vegetarian/vegan culinary heritage of the region. It consists of a delightful medley of lentils, rice, macaroni, and chickpeas, topped with a tangy tomato sauce and garnished with fried onions. It is so delicious and simple to make!
