Instructions
- 1Cook the lentils. Bring lentils and 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot or saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook until lentils are just tender (15-17 minutes). Drain from water and season with a little salt. (Note: when the lentils are ready, they should not be fully cooked. They should be only par-cooked and still have a bite to them as they need to finish cooking with the rice).

Chef tips
To get extra crispy and golden onions, lightly coat them in flour before frying. Fry in small batches so they stay crunchy and add a wonderful texture and contrast to your Koshary dish. For a festive presentation, add a layer of cooked chickpeas on top. If the kids are sensitive to heat, serve the spicy tomato sauce on the side so everyone can choose their preferred spice level.
