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!
