Koshari
- 1 can Chickpeas
- 1 12 oz can Lentils
- 1 Cup Rice
- 1 Cup Macaroni Noodles

Instructions
- Cook your rice any way you prefer and set aside. I used a rice cooker.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, cook your onions and garlic with a little oil or butter until they start to brown.
- Mix in the cumin, coriander, chili flakes (optional), and salt to taste
- Reduce heat and mix in your tomato sauce and vinegar. Cover and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Make your macaroni according to the box instructions and set aside.
- Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas and lentils.
- Serve as desired! I recommend serving "buffet style" allowing everyone to build their own bowl with the ingredients!
