Egyptian okra stew braised with lamb, tomatoes, garlic, and coriander into a tender, savory comfort dish.
Koshari, ful medames, molokhia - Nil vadisinden eski tarifler.
Mısır mutfağı dünyanın en eski sürekli yemek geleneklerinden biridir; beş bin yıl önce Nil Nehri boyunca ekmek ve bira yapılıyordu ve yavaş pişirilmiş bakla kahvaltısı olan ful medames muhtemelen firavunların çöküşünden öncesine dayanıyor. Nil vadisinin verimli alüvyonları, Mısır'ı bir tahıl ve baklagil kültürü haline getirdi: ekmek (eish baladi, tam buğdaylı bir cep ekmeği) o kadar merkezi bir konumda ki, bunun için kullanılan Arapça kelime olan eish, kelimenin tam anlamıyla hayat anlamına geliyor.
Ulusal yemek koşary, Mısır'ın kavşak konumunun öyküsünü anlatıyor: pirinç, mercimek ve baharatlı domates sosuyla kaplanmış makarna, çıtır kızarmış soğan ve sarımsaklı sirke - Kahire sokak yemeğinde emilen İtalyan makarnası ve Hint mercimeği. İnce kıyılmış jüt yaprakları, sarımsak ve öğütülmüş kişniş ile yağda (taqliya) kızartılmış bir çorba olan Molokhia, İskenderiye tercihi olan tavşan, tavuk veya deniz ürünlerine ait olup olmadığı konusunda aileleri bölüyor.
Mısır'da ev yemekleri ekonomiktir ve baklagillere dayalıdır; et genellikle cuma günleri ve bayramlara ayrılır. Aşçılar, karmaşık karışımlar yerine küçük, iddialı baharat setine (kimyon, kişniş, sarımsak) ve mahshi (sebzeleri ve üzüm yapraklarını otlu pilavla doldurma) ve yavaş pilav gibi tekniklere güveniyor. Ekmek ve zeytinyağıyla yenen ezilmiş fındık-çekirdek-baharat çeşnisi olan Duqqa, tipik bir Mısırlı tutumlu deha parçasıdır.

Mısır mutfağı, eski kökleri olan doyurucu, baklagil bazlı yemeklerle tanınır: ful medames (haşlanmış bakla), koşary (pirinç, mercimek ve baharatlı domates soslu makarna), ta'ameya (fava fasulyesi falafel) ve molokhia çorbası. Ekmek her öğünün merkezinde yer alıyor, et Orta Doğu'nun çoğuna göre daha küçük bir rol oynuyor ve lezzetler kimyon, kişniş ve sarımsaktan oluşuyor.
Lübnan mutfağı daha hafiftir ve meze ağırlıklıdır; taze otlar, limon, zeytinyağı, tabbouleh, nohut humusu. Mısır yemekleri daha doyurucu ve daha çok tahıl ve baklagil bazlıdır: nohutun yerini fava fasulyesi alır (Mısır falafel'i, ta'ameya, favalardan yapılır), koşary ve molokhia'nın Lübnan'da eşdeğeri yoktur ve yemekler genellikle çok sayıda küçük tabak yerine büyük bir tabak etrafında hazırlanır.
Hayır, Mısır yemekleri sıcak olmaktan ziyade aromatiktir. Temel baharatlar kimyon, öğütülmüş kişniş ve bol sarımsaktır; ısı ayrı ayrı shatta olarak sunulur, kaşarlı veya ful tadında bir biber sosu kaşıkla sunulur. Harissa'nın ısıyı yapısal hale getirdiği Tunus gibi Kuzey Afrika komşularıyla karşılaştırıldığında, Mısır yemekleri yumuşaktır ve derinlik için yavaş pişirmeye dayanır.
Koshary ile başlayın: her bileşen - pirinç, kahverengi mercimek, küçük makarna, sirkeli ve sarımsaklı domates sosu, çıtır kızarmış soğan - temel bir tekniktir ve tek püf noktası montajdır. Kimyon, limon, sarımsak ve zeytinyağıyla ezilmiş konserve bakla fasulyesi kullanırsanız Ful medames daha da basittir. Her ikisi de vegan, ucuz ve gerçek anlamda günlük Mısırlı.
Molokhia, jüt ebegümeci yapraklarından yapılan, çok ince kıyılmış ve tavuk veya tavşan suyunda pişirilmiş, sarımsak ve yağda kızartılmış öğütülmüş kişniş ile tamamlanan bir çorbadır. Yapraklar ona bamyaya benzer, kendine özgü ipeksi, hafif viskoz bir doku verir. Tadı yeşil ve sarımsaklıdır ve geleneksel olarak pilavın üzerine kepçeyle konur veya ekmekle yenir.
