    Recipe Introduction


    "Lentils, rice and pasta are cooked and then served in a spicy tomato sauce. This is a typical Egyptian dish that is very good and cheap over here! Puree the sauce in a food processor if you like a smoother texture."

    3/4 cup brown lentils
    4 cups water
    3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
    1 cup elbow macaroni

    taste

    Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
