- 1
Cook the lentils in just over a litre of salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 15-30 minutes, depending on the type of lentils you are using.
- 2
When the lentils are quite tender, add the rice to the lentils and continue simmering until the rice is cooked, adding water if necessary.
- 3
Cook the macaroni in a separate pot. Rinse and strain when done. Meanwhile, fry the onions and garlic in the oil until golden.
- 4
Add the tomatoes, chilli flakes, salt and pepper to taste and let it bubble for 10-20 minutes or until thickened and sauce like.
- 5
You can now blitz the sauce in a food processor until smooth or just leave as is. Mix the lentils, rice and macaroni together in one pot.
- 6
Place some of the lentil mixture on each plate and top with tomato sauce. Sprinkle with more hot chili powder or salt and pepper, if desired.
