Instant Pot Koshari- Egyptian Comfort Food

oshari is a popular Egyptian street food, that is made with rice, lentils, elbow macaroni and topped with a tangy tomato sauce and some fried onions. It is absolutely delicious and a wonderful meal for cold winter nights. We tend to serve our koshari with some Shish Tawook and a tomato, cucumber and feta salad with a lemon/EVOO dressing to balance out the carbs.
