    How to Prepare Firey Koshari [Vegan]

    1. Slice the onion into thin rings.
    2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
    3. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. Add the cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, paprika, and allspice. Toast for about a minute, stirring constantly.

    5. Slice the jalapeño into thin rings and add to the pan.
    6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 10 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half.
    7. Add the vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally.
    8. Serve hot, topped with the browned onions.
