You can eat this delicious dish, with Greek Salad or Green Salad.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cup Brown Lentil
1 Cup Long Grain Rice (I prefer Basmati)
1 Cup Small Elbow Macaroni
1 cup Vermicelli (Thin)

For The Tomato Sauce:

1Kg Tomatoes (Chopped)
2 Tbs Tomato Paste
6 Cloves of Garlic (Minced)
3 Tbs Olive Oil

For The Vinegar Sauce (Optional):

1/2 Cup White Vinegar
2 Cloves of Garlic (Chopped into tiny pieces)
1/4 tsp Crushed Chilli

For the Fried Onion:

4 Medium Sized Onion (Chopped julienne)
3 Tbs Olive Oil

Method:

1. Cook the lentils, rice, small elbow macaroni with water and little bit of oil, separately. Boil until al dente.

2. For the vermicelli, fry it with a little bit of oil, until golden and put some water, cook until tender.

3. For the tomato sauce, put the garlic and oil, in a pan. Stir until golden. Then, put in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste.

4. For the fried onion, fry it with the olive oil, until golden and crispy. Afterwards, put the fried onion, on paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
