Directions
Hamada’s Authentic Egyptian Kusherie, The following is an authentic Egyptian recipe for restaurant style kusherie–a traditional Egyptian dish This dish was taught to me by my Egyptian husband It is simple, healthy, inexpensive and a real crowd pleaser! I did not include directions below how to cook the rice, you need only to cook 2 cups dry rice in your favorite chicken (or vegetable if you’d like to make a vegetarian version) stock It seems that depending on the type of rice used, the quantity of stock and cooking time can vary, so use the kind you like and cook it the way you like , I’ve never tasted Kusherie before and this might be how it is supposed to taste, but it was way to sweet for me (almost would have passed for dessert)! The flavours in the dish were really nice though and I’ll probably make it again but definately without the added sugar in the sauce and maybe a few other minor tweaks /proportion changes to please my tounge better, A good 5 stars athough I changed it somewhat DH, DD & I liked it quite a lot Here is what I did: used brown lentils and cooked them as stated with a bit more garlic than called for and some sea salt I think the oil can be cut down I did not measure my pasta so I am not sure if used 6oz used basmati rice and my own homemade chicken stock I fried bite size pieces of chicken breasts in some canola-olive oil mix after the onions with a little sea salt, cinnamon and allspice added near the end of cooking I added these chicken pieces to the dish I did not make the sauce but served this with Recipe #322921 without the garlic which made a very good meal
