LET’S COOK

How to make it

01

Fry the onion in the oil over medium heat for twenty-five minutes to a deep brown, stirring. Drain it on paper; it crisps as it cools.

02

Boil the lentils for twenty minutes to soft but not collapsing, and drain.

03

Cook the rice in the onion oil: fry it two minutes, add water at one and a half to one and cook covered for fifteen minutes.

04

Boil the pasta and drain it. For the sauce, fry the garlic in a spoon of oil to gold, pour in the vinegar and let it reduce by half.

05

Add the tomatoes, cumin and chilli and cook twenty minutes to a thick sauce. Season.

06

Build it in the bowl in layers: rice, lentils, pasta, chickpeas, sauce, fried onion. The mixing happens at the table.
