Directions:

  1. Prepare the tomato salsa and green chili vinaigrette first to allow them to marinate.
  2. TOMATO SALSA: lightly sautè the chopped onion in the olive oil on medium heat. Add the garlic and cook another minute to avoid burning.
  3. Place the mixture in a food processor or blender along with the tomatoes. Puree to desired consistency.
  4. Place the salsa mixture back in the pan. Stir in the cumin and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Simmer, covered about 15 minutes. Set salsa aside to cool to room temperature.
  6. GREEN CHILI VINAIGRETTE: Combine all ingredients and stir well.
  7. KOSHARI: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lentils until very tender. Drain well.
  8. Heat up the olive oil in a large pan on medium heat and brown the fideo vermicelli and rice, stirring well to coat with the oil. Reduce heat if necessary to avoid burning.
