Directions:

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