Egyptian Recipes

Egyptian cuisine is one of the oldest continuously evolving food traditions on earth, rooted in the agricultural bounty of the Nile Valley. Staples include ful medames (stewed fava beans), koshari (a layered rice, lentil, and pasta dish), and ta'ameya (Egyptian falafel made from fava beans rather than chickpeas). The cuisine relies on legumes, grains, fresh vegetables, and distinctive spice blends like dukkah. Street food culture thrives in Egyptian cities, where vendors serve everything from feteer meshaltet (flaky layered pastry) to grilled kofta.
