Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of brown rice or sorghum
  • 1 cup of brown lentils I used sprouted lentils, as they're healthier and faster to cook
  • 2 cups gluten-free elbow macaroni
  • 3-4 medium tomatoes chopped or your favorite tomato sauce
  • 2 medium red onions
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic – finely chopped or crushed
  • 2-3 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1-2 tsp chili powder or as much as is desired
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook the lentils on the stove or instant pot. Make sure not to overcook – you want them slightly al dente and not mushy.
  • Add the macaroni to a pot of boiling water, cook, and drain.
  • Cook brown rice until perfectly fluffed, or the sorghum until it's done without being soggy.
  • Make the tomato sauce: saute half an onion and all the garlic in a pan. Add the tomatoes or tomato sauce.
  • While the sauce simmers – chop up the remaining onions into thick strips. Spread on a baking tray and grill on medium heat until the edges are crispy.
  • Then add the vinegar, cumin, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste to the tomato sauce. Once it's absorbed the spices, remove from heat.
  • Serve by layering the rice, macaroni, lentils, and tomato sauce, then top with grilled onions.
