Sides

After a recent trip to Egypt – this time to cover the completely transparent and good-willed COP27 conference… (my real thoughts here) – I spent a week exploring a new area by the sea and some old hangouts in Cairo.

This time, a new dish fell into my lap. I do vaguely remember eating a variation of it growing up, but not in this form. At the insistence of my cousin, we ordered this dish for a friend who was visiting the country for the first time, as we were trying to show her all the culinary wonders the country has to offer.
