Method

6 steps · 41 min

01
Cook the Lentils
Bring the lentils and 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot or saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the lentils are just tender, about 15 to 17 minutes. They should still have a slight bite, as they'll finish cooking with the rice. Drain the lentils and season with a little salt.
02
Cook Rice and Lentils
Drain the rice from its soaking water. In the same saucepan, combine the par-cooked lentils, rice, 1 tablespoon cooking oil, salt, pepper, and coriander over medium-high heat. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add enough warm water to cover the rice and lentil mixture by about 1 1/2 inches (this will likely be around 3 cups). Bring to a boil, letting the water reduce slightly. Then, cover the pot and cook until all the liquid has been absorbed and both the rice and lentils are well cooked through, about 20 minutes. Keep the pot covered and undisturbed for another 5 minutes.
03
Cook the Macaroni
While the rice and lentils cook, prepare the macaroni. Add the pasta to boiling water with a dash of salt and a little oil, then cook according to package instructions until the pasta is al dente. Drain well.
04
Warm the Chickpeas
Cover the chickpeas and warm them briefly in the microwave before serving.
05
Coat the Onions
Sprinkle the onion rings with salt, then toss them in the flour to coat. Shake off any excess flour.
06
Fry the Onions
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated onion rings and cook, stirring often, until they turn a nice caramelized brown and are crispy, but not burned. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
