Janie , hehehe... here is one for the Kushari
I'm not good with measurements and rather use my experience, eyes and heart.
So you decide how much. but usually the lentil is half the amount of the
rice. The macaroni as well can be half or as much. it depends how much pasta
you want in it. though the pasta goes on top and is more of a decoration.
this is what you need :
-rice
-macaroni
-brown lentils
-cumin
-vegetable broth or
-salt & pepper
-onion
-Steam the rice. use cumin and seasoning or vegetable broth/cube in the
water used for steaming the rice.
-Cook the lentils for 30 mins or until they are cooked. Make sure they dont
over cook and get soft.
-boil the macaroni
-combine the rice with lentil. Add macaroni on top.
-cut onion into long thin slices then fry them. Add onions on top of the
macaroni.
It's as simple as that. HOWEVER, if you want to get a good deeper flavor of
the lentils, use the same water for cooking the lentils to cook the rice in
it. This will make the rice be cooked in a lentil flavored water. BUt the
tricky part is that you must measure that water and see if it's enough for
cooking the rice. remember the rule for rice cooking? (for every cup of rice
use 2 cups of water)
There is a tomatoe sauce that goes with it as well. The idea is to cook in a
small pot some tomatoe paste, grated tomatoe, some garlic and salt and
pepper and some water. Just cook these things together and make a nice
thick not too watery sauce. YOu can at first pour some olive oil, heat, then
add the garlic, golden for a bit THEN add the paste and tomatoe and water
plus the seasoning.
When you serve the dish you can pour one of two spoons of the sauce on top.
enjoy!!!
